We all know that the creation of the U.S. Interstate highway system took all the glory out of American travel and reduced it to something easy, straightforward, and soulless. But you know what, I think the Louisiana state roads still have plenty of soul. Even I-10 (top) and the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (second from top) got some points for being (at least in part) bridges over water. And I think the American idea of "set out in your car and see what you can find" is still plenty alive.
