83 to 277 to 90 and catch I-10 at Ft Stockton? Or, stay on 277/377 N and catch the 10 at Sonora? Thanks
-
83 to 277-90-285 to ft stockton. Lots of good views also.....
bzinger, PE_T and Deere hunter Thank this. -
If u stay on 90 a little longer . It runs into i10 right there at the pilot in van horn. Its peaceful 2 lane. A little bit longer miles but is worth it , if u dont like the big roads
austinmike, tommymonza, nikmirbre and 1 other person Thank this. -
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Its been years since ive been that way but I loved it. Yes stay on 90 to the pilot in Van Horn.Deere hunter and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
Actually, staying on US 90 to Van Horn, is 2 miles shorter than going up to Ft Stockton.
-
90 % of the runs you were empty going back, so I would take the back roads through all the little towns .
Most runs were 3-500 miles and I was not into making miles , just getting my time in and enjoying the road with some good tunes.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
90 all the way in is a little slower but a nice drive if you have the time. All are good routes plus ya know... Texas. High speed limits even on 2 lane roads.
-
I’ve always gone Sonora. Never taken 90 all the way. Taking 35/loop/10 is about 60 miles longer than that route. But not an hour longer for sure.
Just saying -
To be honest, it’s almost a wash to go i35 to San Antonio depending on your speed and how heavy you are. Plus, there are a lot of lonesome miles on those back roads with absolutely no phone service.
But I get my best times going up and catching i10 at Fort Stockton.PE_T and Linte_Loco Thank this.
