DRIVE 58 - Houston to New Orleans

This drive is best interrupted by a short stop in Baton Rouge, capital of Louisiana. The state capitol is nothing like the usual dome, instead it is a 27-story building that has an observation deck which provides for good views of the Mississippi River. Huey Long's grave is also on-site, as is an old barracks which can be toured.

The state capitol and...

...a view of the Mississippi.
