Day 1 Driving - Tuesday

Day 1 Drive
Getting a late start leaving Mobile, about 11:30am yesterday morning (which was somehow not my fault; even after only getting 4 hours of sleep, hah), we headed for the Dallas area. We decided to take I-10 through Mississippi and I-49 through Northwest Louisiana before turning onto I-20 heading in to east Texas. Driving through Mississippi/Louisiana there were several large storm clusters. We were able to avoid the worst areas when we took the interstate route versus the highway route via Hattiesburg/Jackson,MS. We entered Texas shortly after nightfall, luckily I was able to stay at a fellow Auburn Alums house in the Plano, TX area. Meanwhile, my buddy Randall stayed with an old roommate of his from the University of Alabama south of where I was staying in midtown Dallas. In total we drove about 650 miles, which ended up taking about 10 hours including several stops along the way.
