The osyka-progress road is pretty dangerous and narrow.

You will be better off getting on 55 and going to Magnolia then 48 to Tylertown, or 55 all the way to McComb then 98 all the way into Hattiesburg. It will take you prob 15 min longer but well worth it.

Im from that area, hwy 48 Walthall county, trust me that stretch is pretty bad esp if your going back on sat night.

If you do take that route on the way up, be careful of cars suddenly pulling over and parked on the side of the road. There is a business that buys scrap metal located near Progress. Lots of activity during the day on Saturday.

ONE OTHR THING: Gas here has jumped 21 cents this week with the storm in the gulf.

Right now gas in Hattiesburg is arould 3.62. Unless your coming from Gulfport area, Hattiesburg will have the lowest gas around. If your coming from west McComb on 98, gas will be some .15c higher until you get to Hattiesburg.

Thought I would throw that travel plan tip out there.

Thanks, BB! Good tips. I appreciate your help. Hope we have a good one this Saturday night!

I'm not sure about what the plan is this time but with Katrina contraflow ended at Poplarville Miss, so you might be able to take 59 south to there then come across through Bogalusa.

When I evacuated for Katrina I went to then took 21 to Bogalusa and 10 into Poplarville, even with gridlock on the interstate there was very little traffic on the backroads.

Before Rickey started to speak last Monday, I asked him if I could take notes. He hesitated, and then said "Sure." I told him if he said anything he didn't want published, to let me know before he left. He didn't say anything.

That afternoon & evening, I worked hard to put the notes together. (And it was hard. Dang it, Fouquier can't get a name or a number or a hometown right. I spent more time with the USM roster and Googling their players than I did writing the article, trying to figure out who the heck he was talking about.)

But when I finished and looked it over, I thought, "You know, I haven't read a lot of this stuff anywhere else." I didn't know if any of it was supposed to be confidential, but just in case, I decided I wouldn't publish it until it was too late for USM to do much with it.

I have to say, it certainly got me pumped up, more than anything else I've read. For those of you who were griping about Bustle, look at the comments in the article, then look at the articles in the side banner on the front page, with Bustle's and Fouquier's 'official' comments.

Dunno if it was intentional on the coaches' parts, but there was a lot of info that was left out of the official stuff. Like I said, it got me pumped.

If the traffic out of NO is heavy on I59, when you get to Bogalusa, you can go north thru Angie and hit US 98 at the edge of Columbia Ms. Very good roads.

I plan on bringing a car load of cajuns to the USM game. I am not worried about getting there, it's getting home after the game I am worried about.. Does anyone have any inside scoup on what the traffic flow will be? Or when if a decision will be made before 10:00am tomorrow so I can decide to go or not...

[cajun4ever]

I'm in the same boat as you. We're leaving at 10am but not sure about the roads home after the game

"Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said Thursday evening contra-flow evacuations, if needed, could begin as early as Saturday."

More than likely they wouldn't begin until Sunday, but there is the possibility of it starting on Saturday.
