Finally! We are both over whatever bug that was, and back on the road. We have decided to follow route 84 west. It is north of the I-10, but south of both the I-20 and I-40. We were hoping to find cooler, dryer weather, but found rain instead. Funny, the rain is cold, but the air is so hot here!
I was moderately surprised to find that US Route 84 closely resembles the other highways, except it doesn't follow a straight line west, is curvier and more scenic, with a few more houses and towns along the way. It is a very pleasant drive - Just what we've been looking for!
It rained nearly all day, hard at times. Apparently, Alabama floods where we were, despite the hills and rivers. The houses here are on stilts and graveyards are filled with concrete slabs and crypts, vaults, and monuments.
We are sleeping in Laurel, Mississippi, tonight.
