Road Scenery:
|
The
ride runs from Kennard to Hwy 59 through Texas Forest
Country and Davy Crockett that passes tall timbers, the
occasional country church, winding down and around and
across streambeds with exposed gnarled roots where wild
irises bloom. A beautiful ride true Texans will surely
enjoy!

Road Quality:
|
|
Smooth,
state-maintained, asphalt Farm-to-Market road the entire
way where it is easy to forget speed limits in long,
straight of ways. Overall this is just a wonderful ride
that cuts some time off for riders cutting through the Texas
Forest Country.

Roadside Amenities: 
|
The
few rest stops along this quiet road have hospitality
beyond compare. Southeast of Kennard, Laguna Casa,
is a new attraction, and Apple Springs, midway along the
journey, offers a variety of libations to suit any taste.
