If you want to avoid Dallas, which we always do, take TX Hwy 34 from Terrell, up to Greenville TX, then US380 west through Denton TX to Decatur TX where you pickup US287 N to Wichita Falls.

I-35W northbound from downtown to 287 can be miserable any time of the day right now, and it's under construction. I recommend the route quoted above OR 114.

There's a few ways to consider the 114 route, but I'll give you two. The scenic downtown route and the straightforward route.

If it's not rush hour and you're adventurous, the best views are to go:
- 80 westbound from Terrell to I-30 westbound
- take the US-75 / Central Expressway northbound exit
- very quickly, take the I-35E northbound connection exit (Woodall Rodgers) (sp?)
- Take I-35 E northbound and get in the left lane
- Take 183 westbound towards Irving / DFW airport at the split
- Take 114 wesstbound towards Grapevine at the next split
- Take 114 to 287 in Rhome

To avoid Dallas:
- I-20 westbound to 360 in Arlington
- Take 360 northbound to 114 in Grapevine
- Take 114 westbound to 287 in Rhome

IMO, this last route will be better than going through downtown Fort Worth OR getting onto 820.

I didn't read your entire post.

For Saturday morning, I recommend anything EXCEPT I-35W though downtown Fort Worth.

The 114 route in your GPS should be fine.

My first "scenic" route is probably the shortest in miles, as it takes advantage of every diagonal. My "to avoid Dallas" route will be the easiest. They'll be very close to each other time wise.
