Morgan, There are ways to get there that minimize the I-10 travel. I rode from Austin to Key West earlier this year, only riding I10 from Columbus to Winnie (through Houston) and at Biloxi, MS, because of the US90 bridge outage. A nice ride is to take the Winnie exit, go to Port Aurthur, then across the Sabine pass and along the coast on LA 82, then to New Iberia. From there, US 90 to New Orleans. If you want to miss the traffic and stop signs, hop on I 310, to I 10, to I 610, then take US 90 east. Stay on US90 to Biloxi, then hit I 10 again to bypass the downed bridge. Depending on how much time you want to spend, you can ride to Dauphin Island and take the Mobile Bay Ferry to Alabama, then ride the coast on US 98 to US 19 to head south in Florida. There is a lot of traffic and lights in Pensacola and Panama ZCity, though. Another alternative is to stay on I10 across Mobile Bay and go south on FL 85 to FL20, and take that to US 98 south of Tallahassee. I reccomend using I-75 down the west coast of Florida unless you like traffic lights, but take US41 across the Everglades rather than I75, and stop and take an airboat ride. Enjoy the ride.
As we discussed at lunch, you are going in the middle of hurricane season. I think one is brewing out there now. Take care and I am envious I am not going.
Not likely - way too many drunks and idiots for me. I'll do a leisurely ride through the Hill Country instead. SKooter
