Fayetteville, Arkansas to Dallas, Texas
US 75 South
324 miles / 5.5 hours
Yay!!! Finally a short drive!! 5.5 hours! That's nothing for the Pepin family! However, the weather folks were predicting a horrible snow, sleet, and ice storm and it was scheduled to hit around 2 a.m. However, we had a few things in our favor. If we can't make it through the storm, neither can the cast or the trucks with the set and we were pretty sure the storm was only going to affect the first hour or so of our drive.
We left Fayetteville around 9 a.m. and as we predicted the first hour was slick and slow going, but shortly after that, the snow turned to rain and we cruised right along.
Shortly after we passed this sign...
We passed this sign...
Who knew we'd be passing through Carrie Underwood's home town of Checotah, Oklahoma (population 3335). Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005 and apparently her home town is proud of her, proud enough to put up a highway sign.
About a half hour past Carrie Underwood's house, we stopped at Chili's for lunch. And a few hours later we were unpacking the car and moving into our new home in Dallas.
