US82 throuhg Texas
If you weren't in a huge hurry, would crossing TX on US82 late May be a decent choice? I do enjoy back roads, small towns, fields of flower, and have about three to five days to cross the state.

We experienced those a few years ago. To those who don't know, there is usually a manure pile so big you can see them sometimes from a couple miles away. The piles we saw on our trip often dwarfed the cow barns.
We learned real quick to put the A/C on recirculate it and try to speed up to 100mph so we could get by them before the smell started peeling the paint off the truck and your watering eyes blinded the driver. (j/k) The smell is so strong you would not notice if a skunk sprayed you if you are near one.
I've done 82 from Birmingham to just into Louisiana and enjoyed that section. That is what got me thinking about crossing Texas using it.
