DALLAS to ATHENS, TX

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

What would the best route to M&G Brake in Athens,TX be from central Dallas.

Looking at I-20 to SR-19 and in, or SR-175 to SR-19 and in?


Thanks, JIM :confused:

Google maps recommends the following routing:

Depending on your starting point in Dallas, it should be about 75 miles, give or take.

Thanks for all that work Michael, I have the route. What I was looking for was road condition, something from a local or recent traveler or some comment like, stick to I-20 US-175 is not fit for bus travel or..........................


JIM:) I see this thread posted a day late??????????????

Jim, you may still be having problems, I noticed my sent message on this thread (#3) of yesterday has dissappeared. Hmmm just thought I would let you know.

Jim,
I took my bus down to M&G this Spring, used 175. It's a good road, no problems. As a side note I find the M&G System easy to hook up and as far as I can tell it works well. I pull a Jeep Wrangler so if it wasn't for the rear camera probably wouldn't know it was back there. Also I don't know what toad you are going to get done but you might ask them if they have a rebuild available for it. They had one for mine and it saved me a couple hundred bucks. I believe a rebuild is as good as new.
