Review of a highway? Why would anyone write a review on a highway? It is such a strange idea, but those of you that have a romantic heart will love this little stretch of road! This little highway stretches from southern Texas around Del Rio to up in Oklahoma near Tulsa. The stretch of road I just love is in Texas and get to see so many fun pieces of Texas and what made it great from the beautiful nature to man made items. Notes: 1) This stretch of highway has some great little hidden bbq places. 2) During spring you can see some of the prettiest spring wild flowers. 3) Great little hidden finds along this route! 4) Keep your eye out for folks along side the highway selling the best and freshest of vegetables, fruits, nuts and wines. 5) Fun little wineries along this route. (As well as breweries)! 6) A number of fun fishing spots along this highway! 7) This highway has a number of passing lanes. 8) Be aware of speeding traps along this route. The radar traps change often, so be aware. 9) This is not a major trucking highway, which is a big plus for us travelers. ***10) When traveling at night, make sure your co-pilot keeps awake to help look for deer. When it rains the sides of the highway is richer in vegetation, and the deer tend to hang near the road. When head lights shine in the deers eyes, they go blind and still hear the on coming auto. They will wait till the last minute and try to jump over the car and they end up going through the window. It is a must to watch and slow down for deer. 11) If you stop, still watch for snakes, there are not many and I'm not trying to scare you, but it is better to know than not know. 12) Keep your eye out for all of the beauty along the highway! Yes, it is strange to have a review about a highway, but having some good information is helpful! Good luck, wishing you safe travels! read more
