That brought back some memories - I spent 6 months in Diboll/Lufkin a
couple years ago on a contract - I flew into Houston and then took the
rental up that awful road every week for 6 months. It was a terrible
road with LEOS hiding all over the place - I always wished to have done
it on a bike - they always seemed like great roads round that area.
Glad you enjoyed the ride.
Cheers,
Kevin
