US Highway 69

Jacksonville, TexasMar 06, 20101 Comments

About halfway between Rusk and Jacksonville is a place called Seven Mile Hill. It is just after the Cherokee County Airport if you are headed northbound, and the speed limit drops from 70 to 60 as you negotiate the hill/curve. There’s a State Trooper constantly patrolling this area; he likes to hang out at both the top and bottom of the hill just beyond the speed limit change signs, and also in the hidden driveways off to the right on the southbound side. Don’t try anything more than 65 through here.

Comments:
There's probably a trooper constantly patroling because it's more of a death trap than a speed trap. Several people have been killed on that hill because of speed. When it's raining it can be really hard to control a vehicle on it if you are not going the designated speed.
