New Route

I have a new route to help vary the trip from NO to Greenville. I usually shoot up I-55 to MS-27 (72 miles into MS on I-55) and that takes me through Crystal Springs and Utica to Vicksburg. Due north 82 miles on US-61 from Vicksburg will reach US-82 and in another 11 miles to the west I am in Greenville. I am now shooting down US-82 to the east through Indianola (birthplace of BB King) to US-49 which goes through Belzoni, MS (the catfish capital of the world) to Jackson and I-220 to I-20 and then right onto I-55 and due south.

This route is all 4 lane highways and has allowed me to shave 15-20 minutes off the drive. One of the new and interesting sites to see includes this giant cement teepee. Details of the teepee can be found here.
