- Mile 91.3 - Caddo Store (C&H One Stop Valero). No answer to old phone number and google now showing only corporate number. Added Dairy Queen & Dollar General hours to attached cue sheets.
- 600k only - Winnsboro Exxon has disconnected number - Please use any store and provide proof of passage
- TXDOT construction from Bonham>Gober (~9miles) TXDOT only notes one-lane construction with no extra info about potential gravel or the hardpack noted by Stephen. All attached cue sheets include this info. (200k mile 92.7, 300k, mile 143.6, 400/600k mile 210.8)
