Pick up 73 at Winnie, it merges with 87 and runs concurrently all the way to Orange. It's all marked as I-10 detour or something like that. Only tricky part is making sure you don't take the Cameron, LA, exit. You make one turn left when 87 breaks off to go up to 10. That's marked, but not far in advance.

Indeed!

Back when my parents lived in Monroe and I lived in Houston, I did the US59-US79-I20 thing, but that was as much as to be able to visit my brother in Shreveport as anything. I did do the I10-LA12-US165 thing occasionally, and I think it's a little shorter in distance that way, but US165 tends to be rather slow-going for much of its way, so I tended to go the former way.
