Hey Bounce, do ya think TejasFJR and wife might be looking for the original weird Texas ride?
..........
Jim, the "original weird Texas ride" definately sounds worth considering or at least talking about over a cup of java.
Maybe you'd also have some suggestions for some routes up to the Sherman area. I used to work there years and years ago and I seem to remember having found all sorts of different ways of working my way towards Ft. Worth. Of course this way back before all the development started out there.
The "original weird Texas" ride is something of an inside joke from lunch last weekend, but it is based on reality. The beginnings of it involve some odd art that Bounce and I have both photographed on a ranch between St. Jo and Forestburg.
Clicky
Bounce has seen the remains of an abandoned interment camp from WWII not too far from there in the Muenster area. These form the beginning of the "Weird Texas" ride and we are looking for other strange things to add.
In any case, a ride in that area would be worth while and not too far afield.
As for Sherman; interestingly enough, my oldest daugher and her husband live in Denison. My son-in-law rides and is familiar with that area as he is from Durant OK and has worked at Texoma Medical Center in Denison for some time. He showed me the one lane bridge across the Red River on a recent ride and is willing to show me around. Problem there is, that young man is a work-a-holic. Not complaining, he takes damn good care of my daughter and two granddaughters. If you like, I will see what he has on the burner for the next month or so and see what we can come up with in that area. Though to be honest, any trip to Denison for me MUST involve seeing the grandbabies.
Options abound and looks like more than one ride here ( a good thing )
Most of the roads you might have used from Sherman to Cowtown are likely either very urban or taken up by Ray Roberts, which is not too bad a thing. I do know that 377 between Denton and Whitesboro is to be avoided in the evenings due to traffic. I have found the rest of the area around Ray Roberts to be pretty good though.
Lets keep tossing this around and see what we come up with.
Or we can get together for that cup o joe sometime this weekend.
Bounce - Thoughts on this?
