Or perhaps it's the rich tapestry of cultures, cuisines, and characters you encounter along the way.

I remember my first time making this trek. I left Dallas with a full tank of gas, a playlist of country and blues tunes, and a hunger for adventure. By the time I rolled into Biloxi, my camera was full of memories, my belly was satisfied with Cajun delicacies, and my soul was refreshed by Southern hospitality.
