Hush puppies
I did find those. So far Zaxby's, Huddle House, and Eggs Up Grill have been nice regional chain surprises as well.

You just barely came into Bama, if I remember your route correctly… it couldn’t have been all that bad… 🤣🤣🤣
It was the bugs and humidity more than anything. By far the worst humidity so far. Felt like I needed another shower 5 minutes after getting out of the first one.

I got to experience a Lasyone's Meat Pie in Natchitoches and learned of the wonder of a crawfish po boy.

Then we played with gators.

We're hunkered down on the Arkansas side of Stateline in Texarkana tonight. Can't say this has been a great first impression for either state.

Bugs and humidity: Welcome to Summer in the South. Camper A/C is a must.

But Texarkana is twice as nice?

Reckon I’m just accustomed to it. Still don’t care much for A/C, and I rarely sweat… probably because I spent my first 30 years never living in a house with it. 🤷‍♂️

You, sir, are a freak of nature.

Made it to Amarillo. Tried "the national beer of Texas" and spotted an EB at our hotel.

Hey now, we questioned why you would go to that area of Arkansas. The states got plenty to offer, just not there.

In Boise now, almost done. Moab was amazing to just drive through, really disappointed I couldn't stop and wheel. Saw 3 Broncos just on the main road.

For a long time Florida was holding the title of worst drivers, Texas mounted a challenge, but a dark horse took the prize in the end.

New Mexico members, what's the deal? I really loved the state but the driving is just the worst.

I want to visit the Ozarks sometime. Texarkana was just the straightest shot to get out.

Got home last night. What a trip. In total we entered Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah.

22 states, about 6500 miles.

Saw a lot of cool stuff, met some cool people, ate a lot of great food, learned some improvements for future trips. Picked out about 5 places we want to go back and spend more time later, the first of which will probably be Moab/SLC area due to proximity.

The best gas price I ran across was 3.99 in GA and the worst was 6.79 in UT (though most UT stations were in the 5.20-5.50 range).
