I plan on waiting until it gets a bit closer to the meet to confirm when I'll be leaving but I think the plan was for the Dallas guys to leave some time around 12:00ish. I'll shoot to be in the Waco area around 2:00ish and wait around until I hear y'all are close by. I know I'm probably gonna have to stop somewhere around Austin to fill up again on E85 again though.

We always could take a small detour to lime creek on the way lol
As of last week all my fluids, also my tires are fresh

[Husker BRZ]

As of right now I was planning on going down 67 to 281 thru cleburne, lampasas and marble falls to kerrville. I wanted to take a more scenic route and as of right now I think I will be staying in a hotel in kerrville. Then driving the last 30 or so miles to the meet in the morning.

I kinda wanted to take this way down and maybe stop in a few areas and take pics especially around marble falls (really cool area) lol. My plan was to leave around 12 or so on friday so the trip could be made in daylight and I could just cruise down there. I may be bringing my sisters boyfriend so definite time of departure is still up in the air depending on him.

I'd be open to taking this way with others as it's a good change from 35. I thought about stopping in marble falls @ the blue bonnet cafe (this place is an amazing place to eat) especially if you like breakfast food but htey have a little of everything. http://bluebonnetcafe.net/

Sorry for the long response lol but that's kinda my plan as of right now but could change.

Here's a map:

If we take this route we could meet up in Alvarado @ the brookshires right off 35 and 67? Just a thought unless we wanted to do it further north.

I'm probably not going to be able to get on the road until the evening, unfortunately. If I take the day off, I could join you guys, but I haven't decided if I want to use a vacation day for that Friday yet.

Stopping to run Lime Creek is not a bad idea at all. I had originally wanted to meet up around noon somewhere in the area and then cruise down after.

I'll be staying much closer to SA. So not taking 35E will add a good amount of time. Getting infomation of where people are staying will help plan this better as I would guess we are not all at the same location.

The places I was considering for food in SA:

Bluebonnet sounds great!
also that route goes right past lime creek. My vote is in to take a small detour! lol just trying to get some good corners in!


EDIT: I think we should shoot for a noon departure or earlier @Dustin im not sure how that effects when you want to eave since you live weatherford or where you would like to link up on the way, its a month out so. ill put up a small tall in the first post on when people want to depart and who we are linking up with on the way.

EDIT2: Also im sure when we get close we can either agree to go separate ways as we get closer to our hotels or we can maybe try to get some of us together for dinner when we arrive

[Dustin]

It doesn't affect me at all. I'll wait until a time you guys leave is decided, and I'll leave Weatherford when I need to as to meet up with you guys a bit further south. Did the same thing last year.

I've never done lime creek road. Would you be able to make a map of the part we would do? It sounds cool but may depend on my passenger lol How long would it take us? Just trying to see when we would need to leave so we could make that run during daylight!

Is this the right Lime Creek Road? I made a map that leaves from dallas, goes to marble falls then to Lime creek road and back to marble falls.

We could do lime creek road and then go back to marble falls (and eat @ bluebonnet??) and take 281 south from there and people could go there seperate ways from there as 281 heads south towards san antonio, and can be taken towards kerrville.

[Texaz Boy]

I'm down for anything. I'm off thursday through Tuesday

[kalamitykode]

We'll have to leave at like 4am to make it to the meet on time, right? Or did I read that wrong? Then Dallas for me is 2 hours in the opposite direction Otherwise I'd consider it.

[Dustin]

Most of us are leaving Friday afternoon and staying the night in a hotel somewhere near San Antonio so we don't have to get up to leave that early.

[kalamitykode]

Hmm. May consider it, then. I'll have to see what my bank account looks like closer to the date.
