Road Scenery: 
|
|
The
scenery down Hwy. 84 has mostly pine trees from all the
managed logging land down both sides of the highway. However,
during the fall all the hardwoods are changing colors and
it's akin to a fireworks show for the rider. The road
is east west so time the ride to keep the sun out of your
eyes at sunrise and sunset. Surely the scenery is great
year round but fall is so far the very best time to ride
down this backwoods highway in Texas.

Road Quality:

|
The
4 lane section of Hwy. 84 is very brief as it lines up with
Hwy 59 between Timpson and Tenaha, TX, which is also the
busiest portion of the highway. Otherwise traffic is
very light and the rider will find themselves alone for
long stretches of road. There is a lot of terrain that
is rather extreme rolling hills.

Roadside Amenities:
|
|
Several
small towns line Hwy. 84 and all have a character of isolation
from the normal hustle and bustle of towns found near major
interstates. Don't expect to find 5 star hotels or tourist
oriented places. This is more of a day trip highway with
gas and greasy spoon cafes along the way.

Written directions:
This
back stretch of Highway 84 begins in Palestine,
Texas, rolls through Rusk, Mt. Enterprise,
Timpson, Tenaha, Crosses the Louisiana border
at Logonsport and will end at Interstate
49 in Louisiana. You can head three hours
south to Lafayette and on to New Orleans
if you wish. Shreveport is also about an
hour and a half north on I-49.
