Well, I made the drive from A-Town to Fort Leonard Wood yesterday. I took 20W to Birmingham, 78 to Memphis, 63 to Houston, MO, and 17/AW the rest of the way. I left at about noon and got in around 2300. So about an 11 hour drive. This was the first time I've taken the southern route. It was a much nicer drive until I reached Memphis. 78 turns into Lamar Ave when you hit M-Town. Let me tell you about Lamar: it's pretty ghetto. I came rolling into town with my dogs in the backseat and I must have looked a little redneck as I drove in. The real problem wasn't the 26" rims on a Hummer crowd, though. It was the confusion with linking into 63. You actually have to take 55N toward St. Louis before you can link into 63. I did not know this. I did get on 55, but when I didn't see 63, I took 40W to Little Rock, before turning around at the Arkansas Welcome Center. Luckily, I ran into a wonderful lady at the desk that pointed me in the right direction. So here I am...back at Fort Leonard Wood...yippee.
