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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Woodall" To: Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 8:49 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: What roads lead to Eureka??? > Ronnie, > The last time we went there we took 59 pretty much the whole way... > A little less busy than 45 definately... > > > Ronnie Hughes wrote: > Okay gang, according to Yahoo Maps it's 591 miles from my house to Eureka Springs. That's up I45 to Dallas, then up Hwy 75 towards Dennison, on to 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. > Is that the route you have taken from Houston before or do you do the more 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. > > Last year I donated $185 to the Dallas county police fund taking the I-45 route to Eureka towing my dune buggy. > > Any ideas??? > > Fracdog > > > > > Eric "Mr. Electric Wizard" Woodall > 1966 Micro Bus De Luxe, 7 seater > T.C.B. > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Vote for the stars of Yahoo!'s next ad campaign! > > >
