 Welcome
to Texas on I-35 Southbound. |
 I-35
SB. |
 Texas
has different speeds for daytime and night. |
 I-35
in Texas is a harrowing experience, what with all the frontage roads and
exits that dump onto frontage roads with random stop signs and merges.
It actually scared me to exit! |
 Farm
Road 51 is the route I will take all the way into Weatherford, about 75
miles to the southwest of here. |
 FM
51 starts out with 4 lanes, but that soon changes. |
 I
was amazed to see that a 2-lane rural road has a 70 m.p.h. speed limit!! |
 This
is a pretty typical scene on FM 51 SB. |
 Crossing
US 380 near Decatur. |
 Headed
into Decatur on FM 51, which doubles as Business US 380. |
 The
word "Business" is located inside the US 380 shield. |
 Just
a scene in Decatur. |
 Another
Farm Road, but with a higher number. |
 At
US 81 and US 287 on the outskirts of the city. |
 FM
51 actually follows a frontage road for US 81-287 for a bit. |
 But
it breaks off on its own. |
 FM
51 follows TX 114 for a mile or so. |
 And
it looks like this. |
 Finally
about to enter Weatherford on SB FM 51. |
 The
Courthouse in Weatherford. |
 EB
US 180 in Weatherford. |
 A
Texas-sized Texas flag along US 180 EB. |
