Hey, I know Waxahachie! Our old horse trainer lived down near there (off Ovilla Road) - I always enjoyed taking the Boxster down and meandering on the state roads yonder.

My first year here, I got a copy of DFW Porsche Club magazine and read accounts of a road rally held North of the metroplex in the Whitesboro vicinity. I never could get the exact route, but I have done a good bit of driving in area bordered on North by TX/OK border, West by I-35 and East by US-75, and have been rewarded with a few good state highways, several of which have recently been repaved!

My faves north of metroplex are found within an "L" area bordered on the south by US-380 and on the west by US-377...

1. FM-428 (west/east) between Aubrey and Celina.
2. FM-455 (west/east) from Pilot Point, through Celina to Anna
3. FM-1285 (north/south) from near Pilot Point to US-380

No fun coming back through Dallas on I-35 or US-75 (recommend tollway as far as you can take it). But, still, there's some good stuff up north.
