Two lane blacktop - U S 70 between Forrest City and W. Memph

I was headed for Memphis down that long lonely highway called U S 70 when I took this picture. I got to thinking just like 1958 - two lane blacktop, fast car, 50 gallons of shine in the trunk, 10 cent seegar between the fingers - Lawdy, man, it can't git no better than this.

 

But it's 50 years later - got the fast car, got the two lane, ain't got the seegar or the shine either. Oh well can't have it all I guess.
