Tom, we were just down there before Thanksgiving, most of the interstates have been resurfaced........I-12 is much better than it was when we lived down there, I-10 is better in some spots, but with the type of ground the have in south La......the roads just dont last as long there as elsewhere..........I would use 12 if you dont need to pass through NO..............Merry Christmas.

Thom,

We took I-10 from NOLA to Houston and back to Baton Rouge. The road wasn't bad if you are in a car, but we all know that my bike didn't like that stretch before Baton Rouge If you in the cage you should be just fine, if your on a bike, WATCH those damn reflectors as I'm sure thats what took our rear tire out

[Thom]

i am glad to here about I 12 , i was worried , next ? am i too old to iron butt it ?

i was thinking about flying out there but i will be driving back with my truck and trailer and the truck is not dependable , it would be nice to have the bike with me , i hate walking .

Hey Tom, I am about 30 miles north of I-12 at Covington,La. Give me a call when you come thru and meet up for coffee.

And you didn't call.

[Dano]

 

And you didn't call.

 

Hell, I didn't call either, and I was just thru there Friday! Although it was a 40 hour turn around with just enuff time to sleep, get the job done and head home!

I live in Mobile and you will going by about 20 miles from my house. I you have time give me a call too and I will meet you for coffee. I will be having knee sugery on the 19th and won't be out and about for a few days. Be careful approching the I10 tunel, stay in the left lane because of merging traffic, sharp curve to the right.

Squidley quit putting it on Baton Rouge, it didn't even happen in this parish. Give credit where credit is due. Baton Rouge is is East Baton Rouge Parish and I think you were even west of West Baton Rouge Parish.

 

Thom I live in Baton Roge a couple miles from the 10/12 split and it is not too bad through here but they run radar on it a lot. Just go through at night or in morning or mid day. If you pass through in evening rush hour you will back up for at least an hour until you are east of Denham Spring. Also in Denham Springs they have a van that clocks speeders and sends out tickets. I haven't seen it yet but in the paper they said they would use it on the slab.

 

I used to work highway interdiction for 2 years on the interstate and knew every inch of it to hunt rabbits at night and to relieve myself but they have cameras on it every few miles now. If you need help going thru here my cell in 225-413-0885 or if you just want to meet. Give me a short warning and I can meet anywhere along the slab. Lyle

Lyle....all I know is that we were taken to Baton Rouge Hospital and it didn't take us an hour to get there

You might be ok if you do not have to go around any curves. We know how you are with curves as Laura and I believe you are curve challenged.

I-10/I-12 corridor in Baton Rouge is a disaster during rush hour. Also, be careful with the trip back, believe there is still grating down on the I-10 over Lake Ponchatrain. Atleast it was there a month ago.

 

Worse MC accident I ever saw the remnants of was a guy that laid his bike down on grating.

 

Otherwise, I-10/1I-12 is in pretty good shape for a change.
