I'm with big al on this one - get in touch with your inner Twain and use the rivers. It's a straight shot, it's faster, and you'll have less, um, problems, if you know what I mean. People nowadays look at rivers as obstacles, not opportunities for rapid transit.

If it really gets that bad up there, head down the Big Muddy and land at the USS Kidd in Baton Rouge. PM me and I'll come get you. I'm about 15 minutes away.
