Thanks for the info. I checked the maps and Hwy 259 & Hwy 59 all the way
looks pretty good. I didn't know Hwy 59 went north through Oklahoma and
over to Arkansas. Lot's of small towns and about 90 miles of scenic highway
from Broken Bow to Heavener. Heavener is known for the Heavener Runestone
left by Norse explorers around 750 AD. (I guess my Oklahoma Today magazine
from mom came in handy)
How many folks from the Houston area are planning to make the trip? We
could also pick-up some folks along the way from Nacogdoches & Longview.
I'm game for leaving anytime after about 5:30 Wednesday night.
See you at Trader's Village on the 1st. Maybe we can start firming up some
times.
Ronnie
Hope to make a test run this weekend after installing a new tranny from
Oakhill last weekend.

Durant, Ok, then on across Oklahoma on Hwy 69, then east to Arkansas. It
makes me tired just thinking about all that interstate driving and dodging
people going to Dallas at 85 MPH.

scenic route on Hwy 59, then up Hwy 71 through Arkansas. About 50 more
little towns to negotiate and probably takes longer, but not as much high
speed dodgeball.
