This route will take you across the Carpenter's Bluff bridge into OK.
N on TX 5 to FM 121 in Van Alstyne
left of FM 2729
Right on TX 11 in Tom Beam
Left on TX 69
this part will take you a little out of the way but it is a better ride on the FM roads than the county roads
Right on FM 1897
Left on FM 1753 (Don't be fooled and take the right on 1753, go a little further and you will see 1753 on the left)
Right on FM 120 (the bridge will be a couple of miles down on your left, I am not sure of there is a road sign, but the road name is Carpenters Bluff Rd)
Now it gets fun because OK must have issues with road signs because there are none. Do not go into Hendrix, if you get there you have gone to far.
Follow the road after you cross the bridge and turn right on Kemp Rd, also called E2240. if i remember right, it is the first paved road on the right after crossing the bridge. follow Kemp Rd to the stop sign and go Left. On the map it is called Peanut Trail, but like I said I saw NO street signs in this part of OK
Follow Peanut trail until it dead ends into OK 78.
Go left on 78
go left on McKennon Rd
Go right (north) on 69/75
You cant miss the casino it is just up 69/75
As for going home, you can beat it down the superslab on 69/75, or get back to OK78 which becomes TX 78 and will bring you down through Wiley. We did 69/75S to FM 455 and then S on TX 5 back to Plano.
