It takes those new, black state road shields to really bring out the "LA". It's more distracting now, than on the green shields. Never knew Louisiana played with outlines on their BGSs, either.

What exit is the dirt road on I-10?

I think it's exit 121.  The road dirts out just a couple hundred feet north of the interchange.  Rand McNally labels it as paved all the way, but this is not so.

Coming from Ohio, I found Louisiana's green shields too easily merged into the background, where as the new B&W shields are more visible.
As for exit 121, it's in the middle of the Atchafalaya Basin/swamp.  That dirt road might make it up to US 190.

It does, or at least some branch of it does.  There are other roads it connects to, and at some point about halfway through it becomes paved.  I took that road from 190 to 10, and there were a couple times where I had to decide which way to fork.

Probably a Truck Route, knowing Arkansas. I think Hamburg has US 82T that's sometimes posted as 82B.

Now that I know that you're Hungarian, you should have visited Hungarian Settlement, Louisiana (about 30 miles NW from New Orleans Airport).
