Sam Not responding to your question at all - but out of curiosity - is there someplace still known as Pecan Bayou there abouts?

Since the site has been so quite, I thought it might be a good time to ask a silly question. I started to do something this morning, and found myself just a bit weak to do the driving, and decided to put it of until after Friday the 1st. of June, when I hope to have my last Kidney Stone crushed, then in a few days I hope to get stronger. What I wanted to find out about is not important in any way, but us old men find ourselves wondering about things. What I was wondering about was does anyone know the difference in the miles from Clarksville to Paris now, than what it was in the early 40's when we had to go through Bagwell and other places on that crooked old road? I even talked to several friends today about it, and would you believe that none of them thought they could follow the road all the way. I can and will as soon as I can, but just wondered if someone already knew.

Pam, I think Jim answered your question already, but yes, there is this place called Pecan Bayou just north of Clarksville.

It is actually a creek to me, but is named Pecan Bayou. In the Dimple and Hwy 37 area it is spread out about a mile wide, sort of like a "low land" Although there are 3 bridges, the rest of it the road had to be built up about like a dam, but the 3 bridge area are more like water-way for the water to run. One the mileage, I was only considering from Detroit to Clarksville, I am not knowledgeable on the old road from Paris to Detroit. What we call the new 82 (1960) from Detroit to Clarksville is basically the old stagecoach road but still off in places. It was changed to cover Bagwell due to the railroad coming in (not sure what year that was).

I just happen to read last week of another Pecan Bayou, somewhere in the area of San Angelo.
