^^^^you're forcing me to tell you the "back" story about 287. LOL
In the 1980's we were driving through Yellowstone. Got stuck in a traffic jam. Sitting there bored and noticed the highway sign: US 287. I asked the wife...I wonder if that is the same as the 287 through Texas? Naaa probably not. (I know, how could there be 2 highways labelled the same.) She looked on the map...yep it's the same one. Well where does it start and finish? Starts in Beaumont or Port Arthur and goes into Montana almost to Canada. You know someday baby I want to drive the whole length of it.
We have driven the worst section in Texas several times....Ft. Worth to Amarillo. Been up and down it in Beaumont and Port Arthur.
So next year is "my 287 trip", just me and Bigfoot. I'll drive about 30 minutes over to Beaumont and point it north.
