Where Are Today

McKinney Texas
On day 3, our drive from Sikeston to Adkins Arkansas was only 283 miles, a short day. Exiting I-40 on to a narrow two lane Hwy 113 for about 2.5 miles then onto Alldon Marie Rd for another 2.4 miles we arrived at Paw Paws Pecans. The Alldon Marie Rd is almost single lane and gravel. The dust being created driving at a slow 30 mph was terrible, but while worth it. This is the second time we have stopped here and the gracious host welcome you into their beautiful home.
Of coarse their bake goods are to delicious to pass up, we walked away with many. This is a very quiet out of the way place to stay.
We were up early and on the road around eight with a quick fuel stop in town before getting back on I-40 west. Crossing the rest of Arkansas and into Oklahoma until we reached Hwy 69 south and then Hwy 75 south to bring us to our destination today. Hwy 69 & 75 we have not travelled on before. It is not a terrible route, but I wouldn't take it again. They are 4 lane roads but go through towns and small cities where you are dropping down in speed to $0 mph and mixing with local traffic. All the roads both yesterday and today have been good, actually some sections excellent, but some section not so good. The poorest sections I would give a 6 out of ten.
Tomorrow will bring us further into Texas, so stop by again to see where we end up. Thanks for stopping bye and don't forget to check out Pat's blog HERE for a more details of our travels.
