A NEW ROUTE - TO BY PASS FT.WORTH/DALLAS

For the last number of years, we have put up with horrendous construction hold-ups through Ft.Worth/Dallas and Waco.  Both coming and going.  Last fall I said "That's it, we have to find a better way."  


So we started our first days travel, by heading north on 281, through the hill country.  This took us north of Dallas/Ft.Worth before we switch back to our normal I-35 N route home.  This hill country is an area I have only see a little of, but what I have seen I really liked.   



 It did get us past all that construction and was a really nice days drive, although a little long, in and out of a lot of little towns.  I don't know that we would use this route again. 




Tonight we are relaxing in Council Bluffs, Iowa having driven through all of Oklahoma and Kansas today.  We could make it home tomorrow, but then we would arrive late and we need to get groceries in etc. So we will stay over in Fargo and and be home in the am on Friday, and that gives us time to get unpacked, get in groceries etc, before the stores close.  


THAT'S THE PLAN ANYWAYS
