Travel plans: Jacksonville Florida to Austin Texas
At present our travel plans are thus:
Despite one friend of a friend making the I-10/I-12 route without much problem, consensus (including from Ms. Hollie's sister in the Baton Rouge area) is to avoid the southern route, as many problems and probably take longer.
So tomorrow we plan to leave Jacksonville, then spend 2 nights & one day visiting two friends in the Fort Walton Beach/ Navarre Beach area of the Florida panhandle.
Then westward-- at Mobile probably head north off I-10. US-98 to near Hattiesburg then US 49 TO Jackson, MS looks most direct, but that area was hard hit, so US-45 UP TO Meridian would be plan B, a little longer but perhaps less problems? Anyone have any info/feedback?
The I-20 West. We have crash space in Monroe (and a kind plan B offer in Shreveport) lined up. Then west of Shreveport, US-79 down to I-35 and in to Austin.
