Thanks for the update, hms. Sorry some of you can't go. The Spring flowers are blooming the best they have in a long time.
Hopefully, they will still be there at the end of this month. Al, I'll be sure and ask about your Langtry story.

BTW, for those that are coming to the Hill Country..... if you haven't seen the movie, "The Alamo" with John Wayne (1960), rent it or buy it and watch it before the Hill Country trip.

Sunday took a ride to check some roads. Although there was plenty of evidence of the high waters, I didn't see any major damage. Route was 16 S. thru Medina to near Bandera, took 470 thru Tarpley to Utopia. Only running water across road was one spot on 470 at Seco Creek. Utopia to Vanderpool had a little standing water intruding the roadway but avoidable. warning signs and signals are provided and in working order. 377 to Leakey, falling rock and mud slide evidence on sides so keep eyes peeled. Nothing in roadway. 83 North out of Leakey. Construction is of no major concern. Good thruway as they are working on the sides. Fellow rider lives on the upper end of 1340 and said road closed back to Hunt so decided to try 39 off of 83 but 39 also closed to thru traffic at 187. So went back thru Vanderpool and had to take 377 back to Medina. The buffalo were out in front pasture. 16 N. home. Roadway over the mountain is getting a little rough in the switchbacks. Note- across from Koyote Ranch is Escondida, which is owned by Bob Phillips of Texas Country Reporter.
Will try to give an update on 1340 and 39 later in the week. Hopefully it is just debri being cleared. Both are blocked above Hunt.

Skeeter, I'm a bit leary of hitting San Antonio during evening rush hour. Instead of following
I-10 through the city to US-90, I'm thinking of exiting I-10 East of San Antonio onto TX-46 then to TX-16, FM 337, and US-83. It's about 3 miles shorter than taking I-10 and US-90 but will probably take about 45 minutes longer if I didn't hit rush hour on the I-10 route. Do you know of any problems with the alternate route?

Mitch,
I live on 46W. It depends on the time of day. About what time will you arrive near Sequin or New Braunfels? 46W is two lanes with passing lanes; most of it posted at 45 to 55 mph. Traffic is worst in the evening; especially Friday evening. I'm going across 46W to 16 then 337 on in to Leakey.
