We use US 84 most of the way into the FT Worth area. Pick it up at Andalusia AL.
From Perry Fl to the USFS CG at Open Pond is the long day at a little over 200 miles.19/98/27 to I-10 then off on US 331 to SR 55.Next stop at Coffeeville, Al, service park acoe and watch the barges. Next stop is Clear Springs, USFS or Natchez SP. Thru Natchez follow US 61 to US 425 and you'll miss downtown and pick up US 84 at the MS river. Next stop is Gum Springs, USFS; dry camping near Winnfield LA which has a wally world also laundrymat behind the hospital. Several choices at this point for your next stop. Hwy 6 out of Natchitoches to the Sabine, Anglna, and Davey Crockett NF's in TX. It's a more southern route.
Stay on US 84 for a more northern route with stops at Purtis Creek, TXSP, and Ft Parker, TXSP. From there head NW to I-35 and head towards Lake Benbrooke which has several ACOE CG's close to FT Worth. As others have said weather in Feb will be ugly.
If you go the southern route there are several nice USFS CG's and a nice ACOE on the Sam Rayburn reservoir.
