  • Driving Old Dennis Road - Weatherford, TX. Old Dennis Road is a small windy link from Texas Route FM 1189 near Dennis, TX to Interstate 20 near Weatherford, TX. The stretch of road is approximately 9 miles long. Very scenic ride. However not the smoothest. Pot holes and holes cut out and filled with gravel make this road a rocky and bumpy ride. However, if you know how to navigate this road, you can avoid plenty of the bumps. Just have to hope there is no oncoming traffic. Just minutes from town, you have plenty of countryside to enjoy by the scenic views and elbow room. And you're still within approximately a half hour commute to Fort Worth.

    My Grandparents, aunt and uncle lived in Dennis and BOTH operated big 'ol general stores. To me, Dennis was heaven. Soooo many happy memories. I haven't seen it in years but am yearning to go back.

    Fun fact. If you know who Bob Kingsley is, he lived on Old Dennis for many many years before he passed away in 2019. Also, that horse and his friends stand in that spot ever single day. Lol!

      Glad to hear it. Ive always been a fan of driving videos. Heck, I originally started my channel in 2013 as a driving video channel but then stopped for whatever reason. One thing that always bothered me are people who do driving videos and cannot hold a camera steady or find a steady mount for it. This road was really bumpy so I had no choice but to hold my camera to make it as smooth a ride as possible. I cant stand watching shaky driving videos. So thank you for the positive input!

    We have other things in Weatherford besides scenic country Roads. The late Mary Martin Broadway and screen actress and also the mother of actor Larry Hagman of Dallas fame. Also you will find in the Curtis Cemetery the grave of Alfonso Freeman a veteran of the Mexican American War and Indian fighter and also was involved in the Construction of the original Fort Worth.

      Its so beautiful. Especially in the rural areas. Even around the cities that I've obviously been to being Fort Worth and Dallas, its still nice. Obviously the cities are a sharp contrast to the countryside and rural areas. But it is so beautiful and wide open for the most part.

      Well, I've been back in Pittsburgh for months. Keep in mind all of our Texas videos are from May. We filmed that many. Lol

    • @WallieB26
      @WallieB26  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Actually I did! Yes, majority of the population drives trucks down there but closer to the city, you see more cars. I have to say, the Cavaliers I saw down there are some of the cleanest in existence at this point. Unlike up here, the quarters and rockers aren't all eaten to shit by rust. LOL

    A great video! It's really gorgeous down in Texas! There's one other thing that I like about Texas-- Texas Rangers. I'd like to see every state have a law enforcement agency like the Texas Rangers. If I should be fortunate enough to take a vacation down in Texas, I'd hope to get to meet any Texas Rangers and tell them ' Thanks for your great work that you do for the fine residents of Texas'.
