What: This farm to market road is filled with sharp well marked turns as it winds its way through mostly hardwood timber, some pasture land and as with most rural areas in NE Texas there are plenty of driveways scattered along the way. Be on your toes!!! There are short stretches where you can air it out across a bottom area that affords full view to the other end and no side accesses to worry about. Did someone say triple digits? My guess is there's about 20+ miles before it deadends into fm 852. FM 852 continues in kind. Trouble is, you hit 852 almost halfway between Gilmer and Winnsboro and then you have to choose. Go south to Gilmer and it takes you to a bridge across Lake Gilmer (nice place to stop and look) or go north to Winnsboro, one of those nice little out of the way villages with several good eateries. You must vist the hardware store on the downtown main drag. It is one of those old time Mom and Pop family businesses that Wal-Mart has driven to near extinction. The Dairy Queen seems to be the town gathering area. Of course Fall Colors will be stunning and the Dogwoods in early spring also.
