cheaptrick77 Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 I'm not sure, but judging by the listing on texasrangers.com, it might be a media-only event :mad: You guys in Longview need to monitor your newspaper & report to us Tyler people !!

Five0pd310 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Cheapy, the directions are fine except that 271 doesn't go into Longview. It goes into Gladewater. Also, FM 2275 aka Vesta, is more commonly known as George Richie. That may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
