Sounds like the first mile or 2 of 289 north of 82. I was camping at Texoma a few years back and had to replace a leaf spring. The dude in the site next to me said "you must have been on the goat trail".

Just another reason we need the $3.5 trillion Biden Build Back Better Bill.

Just another reason we need the $3.5 trillion Biden Build Back Better Bill. I'm not for spending more money for no reason, but dang, Texas roads/highways need work...and not more toll roads! They are spending a boatload of money on those cable type guardrails up and down the medians and they don't look very effective....they are also putting them in places where I've never seen/heard of a crossover crash. I guess they could potentially stop a loose tire coming the opposite way (I've had one of those coming at me before). The roads are terrible throughout Texas; it's embarrassing.

Agree! Those cable style guardrails are inefficient from a repair standpoint. Half of those cables on 80 from 635 to 20 are bent over and laying in the grass, thus protecting noone. They are stupid labor intensive to repair too! There has got to be a better way......

Totally agree! I visited the folks this weekend who live in Sherman so we took the boat as well to Texoma. What I typically do be it a little slower, I exit FM 1417 and run that all the way to FM 120 in Pottsboro then cut over back to Hwy 75. take a few more minutes but I miss 90% of the bumps and humps.
