i Love THE d.b. I live just west of there, on 32, outside Blanco.. so a run to San Marcos is only 35 or 45 minutes, or so. I am IN.. you'd have to pass my house to get there, either way.. stop on by fot something to drink and a warm place to relax!!!!!
TONS of pavement for about 10 cars or so..

Re: San Antonio Run

The Devil's Backbone is a short stretch that runs from between BLANCO, TX, and SAN MARCOS, TX. It is US HWY 32, and if you are looking at a map, it is between where US 32 and US 12 split, heads west and goes to about 10 miles before US 281
Not incredibly twisty, or anything, but beautiful hill country views...

It's a short but wicked litle run. It's on RR 32 by Canyon Lake between FM 3424 and Purgatory Rd. It used to be kinda hairy when it was just two lanes back in the 80's, but it's 4 lanes now and greeeaat!

Alright... there were six people in total quoted by TR (including himself) that wanted to run this, and there are six votes. Since voting hasn't occured in a while, I will assume that we are done.
Sundays have the lead, and if that is going to be an indication then I am going to make some concrete plans.
Here's how it works.
Thos same six that voted (myself included) will vote on the following poll:
Those are the only sundays in January. It will happen in January as stated in the first post of this thread.
I go for NEXT Sunday (not this sunday, as that will give even the "I need to schedule time off" people time.

Re: Small Texas Meet!

Looks like Sunday the 16th is the day. The tentative plan is this:
Start off in new Braunfels and rip up Hwy 46 to Spring Branch (there is a cool little FM Rd. off 46 to Spring Branch but I'll have to look up the #). Go up Hwy 281 a couple of miles and come back RR32 through Devils Back Bone to San Marcos. There is a picnic area in the middle of the BB we could stop at for some pics. Then end up at Grins for refreshments in San Marcos.
Opine?

Re: Small Texas Meet!

If you are talking about FM311 (angles off to the right, crosses a light, and then winds through an out-woods road, crosses a small bridge, then comes in on 281 at a gas station), then its a nice view too.
Sounds like a plan to me.. I am in. (but you knew that..)
Driving times are as follows:
Leg 1:
New Braunfels (location TBD) to Spring Branch
Total Est. Time: 48 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 24.31 miles
Stop in Spring Branch for restrooms, gas, snacks or drinks.
Leg 2:
Spring Branch to Fischer, Tx
Total Est. Time: 32 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 29.96 miles
Leg 3:
Fischer, TX through "The Devil's Backbone" to San Marcos, Tx
Total Est. Time: 42 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 22.31 miles
TOTAL TRIP DISTANCE: 76.58 miles
TOTAL TIME: 2 hours, 3 minutes, plus photos.
We are looking at roughly 35 minutes, or so for photos, so right at 3 hours with gas stops in SB and photos.
Grins is a good place to be, and depending on the drive home some have ahead of them (one hour here..) I should leave by 8:30-ish or 9..
Let's bank a couple of hours at Grins, JUST IN CASE we enjoy this whole "meet" thing (Its new to SC, so let's play it safe.. lol)
5 hours to be spent in all... from 9 is 4 or earlier leaving from NB.
Anyone have anything terribly wrong with this projected plan?
EDIT: I have room for one or a couple at our place for those coming from further away than myself or Texas Realtor. (I don't know what kind of spare room he has..
It's a twin bed, in a bedroom (Sister's room when she isn't out of town.. and if all else fails I have a pull out couch in the living room, that is a queen.)
Anyone else have room to spare?

What time are we trying to get started?

I think the earlier we get it started in the day (instead of 4-ish like I stated) the better it would be for those coming from N. of Dallas or Houston, etc..
Maybe 12:00 or so?

Yeah, I was hoping for an early start time. Earlier times should also provide less traffic on a Sunday morning. We're coming from Houston and I'm estimating 2 1/2 hours to get there since that's what it takes to get to Austin. I don't mind getting an early start.

Hopefully you can attend!! San Marcos is not far from Austin at all, so you could actually head straight up 35N after Grins to see Austin.. (Or do it the day before...)
Like I said.. let me know early enough and I could probably hold someone at the house, here..
I live centrally located between all these things going on. San Antonio, Austin, New Braunfels, and San Marcos. (1 hour to all from Blanco.)

Sounds like a plan. We could meet in the Wal-Mart parking lot in front of the Taco Bell at noon. The Walmart is in New Braunfels at I-35 and Walnut. From SA, exit Walnut. Turn Rt on Walnut and you'll see the Walmart/TB on your rt. From Austin, take the Walnut exit. Turn left under I-35 and you'll see it on the Rt.

If you can find I-35, then you can get to New Braunfels...
Head N. on 35, until you get to NB, then exit Walnut, and turn right... there we are on the right..
You don't have to worry about getting lost while you are in our group... I have been thinking about it, and one of us that knows the rural trip should take lead, and the other on the 6. (EDIT: oops.. I mean on the end of the group)
All you gotta do is get there... looking at 75 miles-ish total, so a quarter tank of gas... even at premium you are looking at 5.80 in gas for the round trip.
12:00 it is.

Roads within our outlined trip are well-paved, and of high-use. Level, and smooth. They are in the hill-country, so don't get me wrong, there are climbs, etc... Nothing to worry about on a dropped car (except, perhaps, the bridge crossing on 311, but even that is relatively smoothed out, and nothing that angling across it won't fix..

No worries Julio, the roads are great. Whoever has a radar detector can lead and I'll bring up the back door. We'll have 2 stops. One in Spring Branch after the FM 311 run and one on Devil's Back Bone for pics(someone remember to bring a digital camera). And for those who have never been to Grin's, it was my hangout in College. Burgers, margs, beer, etc.

Same here... Possibly two of them..
I have a radar detector.. I don't mind taking the lead..
Although: I know what I like to drive on those roads.. I don't know what everyone else would be comfortable with. I think I will just stick to the limit +-5 for obvious reasons...
Anyone against this, or have other ideas? prefer a slower ride, etc?

Re: Small Texas Meet!

OK. I'm trying to get everything down for sure before the weekend.
-We're meeting at WalMart on I-35 and Walnut at 12:00pm (NOON).
-We'll eat at Grins, which I'm assuming is in San Marcos since that's where Leg 3 ends.
-Plan on approximately 5 hours (starting at noon) for total drive time and food at Grins.
I don't forsee getting lost since I can read a map and can handle directions. But, if Ray or someone else familiar with the area would PM me their cell just in case, I'd appreciate it.
We also need to get a head count so that we make sure we don't leave until everyone has arrived.

Not that this is a big damper for anyone, but I'm going to have to back out of this one folks, sorry. The business trip that was planned there was canceled. I really looked forward to meeting you all. If I can find a way to make it happen, I will.

Re: Hill Country Run

OK. Coming from Houston, my plan is to take I-10 West. I'm guessing I'll take 46 off of I-10 up to New Braunfels. When 40 intersects I-35, do I go North or South on 35 to Walnut?
Also, does anyone know how long the drive from I-10 to 35?

Re: Hill Country Run

Approx 12.5 miles, (22.minutes.)
From 10, EXIT 46 (It will say "Seguin, TX, next three exits. I think it is the THIRD exit.)
There will be a Jack in the Box on the corner across from you, after you exit, and come down to the light.
HEAD RIGHT(NORTH), up and over the small-ish bridge you see to your right.
STAY on 46 NORTH approx 10 miles to NEW BRAUNFELS
(Cops are bad that stretch keep it at speed limit.)
First overpass you get to will be I-35. Go LEFT (SOUTH)
EXIT 186 WALNUT AVE.
Turn LEFT on WALNUT, and Taco bell is on the RIGHT.

I am hoping before tonight that you will know for sure, so we can expect you or not in the headcount.
Let's keep the list to definite people only, though, to make sure we don't forget anyone when we are there.

My cell is (210)218-6467. Give Ray or me a call if anyone is running late. We'll hang out in the Wal-mart parking lot for about 30 minutes and plan to head out at 12:30pm. That's should get us to Grins about 3:00pm for burgers and refreshments.

I'm off to bed (gotta get energy for the big day, tomorrow.... ) Actually, the wife if going to bed, and if momma ain't happy, nobody's happy.. She'd prefer to sleep better, with me in bed, than at the computer..
Anyway.. any last minute things can be posted tonight, I will read the forum in the morning. I am leaving at 1030, so call my cell at 830-833-4175 after 10:30.
See you guys there, and DRIVE CAREFUL.. rather you be late than gone.

Thank god my wife did not go or ealse she would have talked me into going to the outlets with them and spend our grocery money on clothes for her since she can never find anything to wear even though she has her own closet full of cloths.
