Joe,

JM>  I'll be on Rt 167, coming from Louisiana.  Then continuing NNE to Ed in
JM>New Albany, IN.

  OK, you'll be coming up from El Dorado. US 167 eventually joins with
Interstate 530 heading north from Pine Bluff to Little Rock. At the
"South Terminal Interchange", you have:

1) Interstate 440, the bypass around the southeast side of Little Rock,
with the closest access to Little Rock National Airport. Right now, at
Interstate 40, it changes to "Arkansas State Highway 440". Political
lollygagging, boondoggling, etc. as well as resident and government
opposition, have prevented it from making a full loop around the
northside of the Little Rock Metro Area. Right now, the north end of it
is at the junction of US 67/167 to Jacksonville and communities further
northeast.

2) Interstate 30...westbound to Benton, Malvern, Hot Springs, Texarkana,
and eventually to Dallas and Fort Worth...then eastbound to where it
junctions with Interstate 40 -- westbound to Conway, Russellville, Fort
Smith, and Oklahoma City...and eastbound to Lonoke, Brinkley, Memphis,
Nashville, and Knoxville.

  You'll stay on I-30 until Exit 143, and take Interstate 40 east, like
you're going toward Memphis. Look for Exit 155 on the left, US67/167 to
Jacksonville (where the Little Rock Air Force Base is located), and
Saint Louis. Eventually, that entire stretch will be renamed Interstate
57.

  Take Exit 155, and go to Exit 2. You'll get off there, and do a
turnaround under the overpass (the service roads on each side of the
freeway are one way, with the flow of traffic). Once headed back south,
look for The Golden Corral Restaurant on your right. I think they open
at 11am during the week, but do a breakfast buffet on the weekends.

  I know I'm tied up on Saturday, June 1, and Saturday, June 8, with ham
radio license exams -- but right now, Saturday, June 15, looks free.

Daryl
