Leaving for Texas tonight.

What route should I take? All are within an hour driving from each other. I've done route #1 and #2 before, but never #3, and my friend who is coming with me hasn't done any.

What's wrong with Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Oklahoma? They seem like they would be nice states.

Much would depend on where in TX you wish to end up and what scenery your wish to take in on the way.

Head down the Blue Ridge I87 in VA to I40 and head over toward Memphis for decent mountain and rolling hills.

St Louis gives you the arch.

Just head southwest until you smell sh!t. That will be Oklahoma. Go straight south until you step in it. That's Texas.

Well, I think I'm gonna re-route my trip, I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped, If I went to Texas, via Omaha.

I seriously just busted out laughing here at work.

I've driven through "Texhoma" which is right on the border between Oklahoma and Texas. It was the foulest smelling town that I think I've ever encountered.

I think they had a couple rendering and/or meat processing plants there that just reaked of sh!t and decaying flesh.

that was probably Guymon, which is near (~20 mi) Texhoma. There is a large Seaboard pig slaughtering operation there and yes, I can confirm it is a wretched smell.

OK! OK! We get the fracking point. You're going to Texas to visit a girl. We're so proud of you! Why don't you post another thread about it?

depends on how much time you wanna spend in the great plains. Corn for miles around gets boring after a while...

I'd go with choice 1

#2....I have bad luck getting pulled over in Virginia. Then again...I have bad luck getting pulled over in NJ as well and I don't think you can skip that step.
