I am using Street Atlas 10 on this trip...it can show me routes but not the conditions of the road way.

We have a general idea of the routes we want.

We picked up I-59 in Chattanooga, TN...being in a hurry to get to Henderson by the 22 of March it sounded like the best rout.

We were doing OK until we got into Mississippi.

The concrete slabs the roadway was made of were misaligned in every direction.... 4" up.... Bam!... 3" down.... Whoops! Every 20 feet.... Bam... whoops... bam

I have never ever seen anything like it....

I turned around... retracing the nightmare back to the last exit on a frontage road...

After some thought headed west on US highwats

These back roads don't seem to crowd the maps...

I think that I heard a sigh of relief from Janet.... maybe the first since... I finally took a breath without the panic of the camper and truck being torn apart on I-59

Early spring.... someone (or many) was burning the fields for some reason... smoky haze
