I am leaving the MS Gulf Coast now, Waze is telling me to take Texas Flat Road and head to Picayune instead of sitting in traffic for 4 hours.

Also some traffic in the construction zones.

That is your Labor Day traffic report, I am Don Ames.

Not just the beach. There’s nothing to do in Slidell or St Tammany anymore. We know some people that went to the train museum in Gulfport. There’s Big Play, Margaritaville, other stuff to do there. Heck there’s a regular shopping mall that’s actually pretty good.

Came through there about 9:30 this am and was smooth sailing!

Didn’t even hit a lick of traffic at the tunnel in Mobile this am.

Went to the beach today; currently at Pensacola RV resort.

Feel bad for those traveling home today.

Maybe he can’t go next week. Is it really so hard for you to grasp the concept of someone going to the beach on a holiday? The “official” end of summer, at that?

Those fricked up shoulders they converted into lanes are dangerous AF, especially when the truckers that can’t read English don’t know that they need to stay in the left lane and they swerve all over the place from those patched cuts in the road.

Update:

I stopped at Buc-ee’s and Waze is taking me on a very scenic drive on Firetower Road.

Glad it is still daylight.

Update 2:

Made it to MS-63 and got to I-59 in Picayune.


Heading south now back to Louisiana.

I stay in the left lane as well as most people because of the “speed bumps” in the right lane. I don’t know what they did to create those but I’m not putting that wear and tear on my vehicles.

Reminds me… St Tammany schools have a “teacher planning day” next Monday so schools are out again. Potentially more than usual traffic again.

I think it is to help with preventing water from building up on the road and draining it away from the construction.

frickkk that shite. We left Greenville, South Carolina this morning about 9am and got home at 9pm(with the hour gained). We went to I-59 at Kiln as per the Googly and saved a few minutes. But still sucked.

I ALMOST went west from Montgomery to Meridian and got on 59 there in anticipation of the shitshow. But I-10 was clear at that time though.

In that stretch of road, the right lane has become the passing lane due to the speed bumps. If you have driven it, you know.

Firetower Road


That was a nice drive through the countryside. When I retire in the next 15-20 or so years, maybe I can hit up some decent real estate in that region. You are not far from Gulfport or Bay St. Louis.

You just have to watch the hairpin turns on the road as you get closer to MS-63, and do not attempt in an 18 wheeler as they are prohibited on that road.

You do have some hills in that region, definitely a change of pace from my area where the closest thing to a hill is a levee and your only elevation change is when you drive over a body of water on an overpass.
