I felt like I was in a Nascar race the whole way.

It sure would be nice to have a Hyperloop from BR to GS/OB.

Thats about right.

2 hours to New Orleans then another 3.5 hours to OB.

So it took you one extra hour? Cry me a fricking river

the people bitching are the people that can't afford to go during the summer so they wait until Labor Day thinking it will be cheaper and less crowded but little do they know there are thousands of them thinking the same thing.

Therefor your have thousands of broke dick unexperience vacation goers trying to get to the same Gulf Shores beaches at the same time bitching about the traffic they aren't used to experiencing.

And then being DUMB and going through the tunnel on I-10 at 5pm rush hour to get on the bayway rather than up 65 and bypass it entirely.

Right, it's all about timing. If you aren't smart enough to time your trip around the heavy traffic then you get what you deserve and you have no room to bitch.

It was an easy drive from BR to GS last night. Why we leave on Thursday.

You are consistently wrong about everything arent you?

Baton Rouge to Orange Beach is no more than 4 hours normally. Ive made it in 3 Hrs 40 minutes going no faster than 80.

But you went through Baton Rouge. Getting to the state line takes you about the same time no matter which way you go.
