Driving the Fastest Way
Okay I want to drive to Erie PA from Rhome, TX.
One place Yahoo Maps says to drive up through Okalahoma Muskogee etc through St. Louis then over to PA.
The other place says to drive over to Texarkana Memphis up through Louisville KY.
Weather and all has me thinking the lower route first.
Which way would you drive it if you were leaving Thursday Morning?

RE: Driving the Fastest Way
Are you driving or riding? Riding this time of year would make it one ugly trip. Why Rhome, TX by the way? Not much their unless you have family. I live a couple miles down the road in Haslet.

RE: Driving the Fastest Way
I live just outside, north end of Rhome.
Driving.
But I figure I would ask here cause there would be alot of road knowledge here. Seein how this is a "touring" type hang out.
