“Day 29, 30, 31”
Of the 2026 Cavalcade
4873 miles
We left Eastland TX around 10:30 or so. We’d only 178 miles to our next stop.
We arrived around 14:00, @KevinProudTexan said he could hear us coming. He’d offered his lovely ‘Lake House’ as an interlude from the ride. He graciously let us stay two nights. Which allowed us to ‘recharge’ before the final 770 miles to GA. The first night they ( Kevin and his wife Kim) made Fajitas. The second night we four went to a local barbecue joint, my darling bride and I picked up the bill. It was the least we could do.
The next morning we were up bright and early. Had our coffee and said our goodbyes.
We’d barely gone a mile when I received a phone call.
I couldn’t tell whom it was from, and I couldn’t answer it, because I was doing 60mph on a motorcycle.

Works like a charm.
Here’s the latest.
“I’m riding a motorcycle from Corsicana TX to Acworth GA, find a hotel close to the halfway point.”
GROK;
Jackson / Pearl, Mississippi is the practical halfway point on the drive from Corsicana, TX to Acworth, GA.
The full route is roughly 760–770 miles (mostly via I-20), so the midpoint falls right around Jackson, MS—about 390–400 miles from Corsicana (roughly 6–6.5 hours of riding).
Pearl (just east of Jackson, right on I-20) is especially convenient for an overnight motorcycle stop: easy interstate access, plenty of surface parking, and hotel clusters near exits.
Here are solid nearby options with free parking and good interstate ...
