OK all you Texas Travelers. I'm thinking of using Hwy 281 to get from Johnson City up to Wichita Falls. Any thoughts on this road? We've traveled I35 so many times I want to try something different and 281 seemed a decent option. Thanks

Hi Ray... We have taken a small part of it before from I20 north to Jacksboro (about 1/2 way to Witchita Falls from I20) and it was a nice drive.
It is a typicall 2 lane highway, but if memory serves me right it was in good condition. I don't remember any low clearance situations, but I only need to think under 10 feet. Witchita Falls.... really?

It is good Ray,,, a few places it is only 2 lane, but it is a good road. We prefer it to I 35.

We've only been as far north as Lampasas on 281 and it was a great road that far.
