At the end of Lime Creek we get back to Anderson Mill Road and follow it to Ranch Road 620. We stay on route until we get to Hamilton Pool Road. We do the same thing a little ways down Hamilton Pool Road as we did at the beginning of Lime Creek and Anderson Mill, pull over and wait to hear word from the tail car that everyone has caught up. After that it seems to be mostly light traffic until we reach The Salt Lick in Driftwood.

I am willing to be the tail.

As am I willing. My cameras should be working this time. Will anyone else be bringing filming equipment?

Yeah there is a big parking lot on Palm Valley by I35. There is an Autozone in that shopping center. The address is 300 West Palm Valley Boulevard
Round Rock, TX 78664

It should be able to accommodate 30 cars no problem.

I'm not from the area so if someone who lives down there has a better alternative, I'm all for it. I'm thinking we meet there at 11:30 and stick around until 12:00.

Id say it certainly looks like a good lot for us to meet at. Might wanna open that window of how long we will be at the lot maybe 11 to 12? Just my 2 cents.

Was looking into a GoPro Hero 3 to stick on the car to film the cruise.

If this is this week, I live about 5 minutes from Round Rock donuts. I can probably go! Supposed to go river floating in the afternoon... I'll see about doing both.

i live down the road from that parking lot and can confirm that it is big enough for us to all meet there.

So just want to warn everyone of a few speed traps along the route. Williamson County, where we will be starting the route, is extremely strict and when they catch wind of a bunch of sports cars driving through their jurisdiction, they will be like hawks. Also, Lime Creek Rd usually has two Travis County Sheriff vehicles parked at the beginning and end of the road, sometimes they position additional cars around the turns too. We will also be passing through Lakeway on RM 620, the speed limit is 50mph and they WILL pull you over if you exceed that (I received a written warning for going 6mph over). Just a friendly heads up for everyone!

We should have a an announcement before we start the cruise to remind people that these are high ticketed areas.
