As the riders crossed into Texas, they were escorted by the DeSoto Parrish Sheriff's Department and, until he was called away for an emergency, were also assisted in their travels by Roy Cheatwood, Constable Precinct 3.

After the riders traveled through Joaquin, they continued on U.S. Highway 84 toward Tenaha and then on to Timpson where they camped in So So Park for the night before continuing their journey Sunday morning on U.S. Highway 59
