Day 53, Thursday, November 5, 2009 – 539 miles

We experienced the longest day driving since leaving Spokane, 539 miles in about 12 hours. After leaving the campground in New Orleans, we followed the east bank of the Mississippi River for about 15 miles before heading north to connect to I10. We ran into very bad traffic while driving through Baton Rouge and again through Houston, although not as bad. We stopped at the Texas Welcome Center and asked for the best way to get to Lubbock. Her suggestion was different from what I planned, but a good route nonetheless.
We have stopped at a Wal-Mart in Austin, TX. I will get the oil changed (again) before we hit the road for Clovis, NM, our destination for tomorrow night.
