We live near San Antonio and go back to NC at least once a year... we’ve done EVERY route possible I think and still prefer the I-30 to I-40 ... just seems quicker somehow...
AND the drive IS prettier really ... especially through TN .. Arkansas is sorta pretty ... and any road in TX is basically FLAT FLAT FLAT ... laugh..
Our roads aren’t flat. Every few miles we build concrete hills :’)
Thx for the advice, I’m sure that is the route we will take, as I’m hearing that there are no hotels along I-20 with vacancy now. Since we are traveling with our pets it’s going to be downright impossible to find somewhere to stay along that route.
