We’ve been avoiding it for decades after one miserable Thanksgiving trip from the North Texas area to the Central Texas area. After miles of nearly stand-still traffic, we made it to the front and discovered the wreck wasn’t even on our southbound side. Our backup was all rubbernecking. Then we got to see miles of northbound traffic at a standstill.

For the return trip home, we studied a map and figured out that I45 could work just as well for our destinations. A few miles further maybe, but so much more pleasant. We never used I35 again.
