Got so tired of fighting wind and I-40 truck traffic that I headed south and east at Amarillo on hwys 287, 82, and 69 via Wichita Falls to Tyler. Good 4 lane roads for most part with posted speed limit of 75 most of the way. I only drive 65 mph anyway. Few small towns along the way but better windy conditions, less traffic and little construction. See more of the real Texas that route also and found a good BBQ restaurant along the way.
Beginning Sunday will see how I-20 fares thru Shreveport and on eastward toward GA and home.
