Wife was talking about leaving Waco at about 3 which would put us in the middle of traffic heading north on 75.
Looks like I no longer have a choice since my MIL is coming with us and she is deathly afraid of dropping off of a cliff in Arkansas at night. I'll look on the map and see if there is another way to avoid D/FW and Arkansas but still get there in a reasonable amount of time.
Come up 31 from Waco, to 19 to 20 east to 251 to the border. Or follow the blue hairs and gummers. Just kidding!
This is more or less the route that I told my wife we have to go to avoid D/FW. The only problem is it would add about 2 hours to the trip. Told my wife we don't have a choice as going straight through D/FW at that time would add at least 2 hours, if not more. She agreed, so it looks like she is going to cancel her training on Thursday so we can leave Waco no later than 10 am, and head through D/FW before traffic gets too bad.
On the way home make sure to take hwy 21 towards Ponca Ar, this route will end at I-40 in Clarksville AR.
Ponca is where the large elk herd is and 21 is a really scenic drive....... well worth the additional hour drive
