Miami to Chicago Roadtrip
May 15, 2007

After a short hiatus, I was finally able to return on my trip back home. My Volkswagon's radiator, thermostat, and water pump were all replaced and I was on my way! Unfortunately, it was rather late in the day by the time it was fixed but I didn't want to waste any more time getting home, so I made it as far as I could. And that just happened to be Tupelo, Mississippi.

 

Leaving Clanton, Alabama! Here I am getting on to the interstate. An I-65 shield points the way.
 

Another I-65 shield and also the road.
 

Another exit for Clanton.
 
You can tell it's getting dark already. As I recall I didn't leave until about 6 pm and I didn't want to be driving in the dark in my little car so I stopped early.
 

The median is a forest for a little while and then the lanes come back together again shortly.
 

I liked the foresty part of this picture.
 

Still going north on Interstate 65 and heading towards Birmingham.
 

But we're coming up to the junction for I-20 and I-59.
 

Here's the junction and the start to a series of overhead signs that I found interesting.
 

Directions as to where the lanes go.
 

Because it was getting dark these pictures aren't of the best quality. But here's the exit for I-20 and I-59.
 

And here is where the interstates part ways.
 

Now on Interstates 20 and 59.
 

And now on to US 78 which in the future will be
Interstate 22.
 

An opportunity to head back to I-65. And also AL 5 meets us here.
 

Here's a road scene for you.
 

US 78 and AL 5 shields.
 

Except for the bug smear, I like this picture because the road kind of disappears and then reappears in the back again.
 

US 78 stays in the left lane here.
 

Coming up to Tupelo, Mississippi already.
 

Shields.
 

The exit for Tupelo and US 78 and AL 4.
 

A blurry overhead sign.
 

Well now it really has turned dark, but I found these to be interesting shields so I had to get the picture of them.
