re: Got pulled over by an Arky State Police today,

The number of speed traps along Highway 65 south of Lake Village is why we started cutting over to Mississippi and going down that way. Combine a flat road, no traffic and a radar detector (just in case) and we save quite a bit of time. We can make it from NOLA to LR in under 6 1/2 hours (we've gotten close to 6 hours, but haven't quite made it, officially).
