wow, how random is this...?
y'all talking about the muppets and I'm mapping a route for our trip to Arkansas Thursday and I ran across this on Google maps....
I'm trying to explain to the wife why we'll be making a slight detour now...
How do you get close to Leland Mississippi from Louisianna going to Arkansas?
we take I-55 up past Hazelhurst and then 65 to Little Rock and then I-40 to Clarksville where we go north up to the Buffalo River. Leland is about 20 clicks off Hwy 65 before we get to Dermott
So, I copied and pasted those directions to check my memory;
I didn't follow that so I asked Co-Pilot, she said:
❌ Leland is not on Hwy 65
✅ Leland is on U.S. 82, west of Greenwood and east of Greenville.
To reach Leland from the south (coming up Hwy 65):- Hwy 65 runs north–south through Lake Village → McGehee → Dumas → Pine Bluff.
- Dermott is on Hwy 165, just east of 65.
- Leland is farther east, across the Mississippi River in Mississippi.
The correct connection:
From Hwy 65, you’d turn east on U.S. 82 at Lake Village, cross the river, and Leland is about 10–12 miles past the bridge.So your line should read more like:
Not “20 clicks before Dermott.”
Why your original description didn’t quite line up
- Hwy 65 never goes near Leland.
- Dermott is south of the 82 junction, not near the turnoff to Leland.
- Leland is in Mississippi, not Arkansas.
That's what she said^!
Now, I traveled from DeRidder, La. to Springfield, Mo. 3 or 4 times a year for over 10 years, then I chased all over Arkansas going from bank to bank for 6 years, and 10 clicks is 6.2 miles, 20 clicks is 12.4 miles. US 65 is nowhere near the Mississippi River.
ha!
well...I didn't even know Kemit had a "birthplace" until this morning...
but I can guess why it was in Mississippi and NOT Louisiana...
