Thanks to Mr. Google and his maps, I don't think about it much.
I go by way of Fort Smith, (in fact we'll probably get there around midnight and get a hotel).
I head north on 45 to Dallas, continue on 75 to 69 in Oklahoma then east on 45 and North at Clarksville on 21. Then it's 43 to 74, a very scenic drive too, to Kyle's Landing road just past Mt Sherman. Take a left and it's down hill all the way.
