On the west side of Palo Pinto, turn south on SH 4 (might be marked as FM 4), it looks like a normal street not a through route so it's a little hard to find. The twisties start just after you get out of town, run for about 4 miles until you hit a 6 mile flat stretch, then another 4 miles or so of fun. Or you can take 20 west to 281, exit north toward Mineral Wells, then left on 129 to Santo, then right on 4 towards Palo Pinto-this is an uphill run. The other way from PP to Santo is downhill and my preferred direction because some of the corners are blind on the uphill and you have people dragging boats and RV's to/From Palo Pinto and PK Lakes. Be careful early morning and evenings because of people on their way back from the lakes. At mid-day it's almost deserted on weekends. Sundays there's some church traffic until around 1. Also, the Harley guys like to run this sometimes as part of a bigger loop so watch for them.
