SHV-BTR was a nightmare, could take 5-6 hours some times

Lea's was still really good then, though. Perfect halfway spot.

I still like to take HWY 71 to get to Shreveport. I find it a great kick back drive with Lea's Pies a required stopping place.

I still don't use the interstate after Ellic. 71 is a great drive now.

I could make it in 3.5 hours most the time. Once tried to break 3 hours but missed by 10 minutes. Usually not much traffic but it was a 2 lane road most of the way.
