Texas Hill Country Trip...Dates

**trip** · 11-09-2009, 05:59 PM

Sorry to do this, but I need to change the dates for the Hill Country trip to the last week in April, in essence, bump it a week later. I did this now for two reasons, to give me more time from the possible birth of my grand-daughter and to possibly give Watchman more time from the birth of his grandchild. I'd like the change the dates to April 27, 28 & 29, 2010.

While we were in Antlers, several of you had asked me to put together a Texas Hill Country ride for the SouthCentral group next year.

So, let's hold the
KawaNOW Texas Hill Country Run
April 27, 28 & 29, 2010
Leakey, Texas

April 27th is a Tuesday, that will give us three days before to travel there (April 24th, 25th & 26th). The 29th is on a Thursday, if we all leave on Friday morning, that will give us three days to travel home (April 30th, May 1st & 2nd). In essence, the trip will be from April 24th until May 2nd.

Our base will be in heart of the Texas Hill Country....Leakey, Texas (pronounced Lake-ee). Leakey is located 80 miles Northwest of San Antonio (as the crow flies) or 127 miles Southwest of Austin (as the crow flies).

The Texas Hill Country around Leakey sports three of the top rated roads in Texas... The three twisted sisters.... RR 335, RR336 and RR337. It also has a motorcycle museum, the Texas Stonehenge and the Alamo Village in Bracketville, where the movie "The Alamo" with John Wayne was filmed.

We will stay at the D'Rose Inn while in Leakey, www.droseinn.com , which is a motel for motorcyclists only.

I usually take an annual trip to the Hill Country just because I love the area so well. I didn't get to go in 2009, so 2010 will be my pilgrimage with you guys. Here is a link to my last trip... http://www.hilliard.ws/hc2008/hc2008.htm

Trip sounds like it would be a great ride but don't forget that Nightmare has the Antlers run in Oct don't know how many people could make both.

jesse · 11-09-2009, 07:35 PM

I agree with Jim about Antlers, but would love to make that trip sometime, sounds like a great ride.

**wanderer** · 11-09-2009, 07:40 PM

About time somebody started organizing some rides. I thought everybody had quit riding!

I'll be there, whenever it is.

skeeter · 11-09-2009, 09:46 PM

At least 10 hrs....All of the planned rides are at least a day away from here. Some of us don't mind traveling a few hours to enjoy a good weekend of riding with friends.

There is a cure for that Mitch. Set up a ride in your area and the rest of us can travel to your area.
Maybe you could put us up in some of those left over FEMA trailers.

Forgot to mention that the Hill Country ride sounds good to me.

**Cajunrider** · 11-10-2009, 04:11 PM

A ride along the Mississippi Gulf Coast is excellent and only 2 hours from here. That's if you like riding along beautiful beaches and stopping by Casinos for lunch and a little gaming. The beaches start at Waveland, MS and continue into Florida. Nice in Spring and Fall.....hot in the summer. Around home, there is marsh and cypress swamps. Some find it beautiful.....I just find it "home".

oldbikers · 11-10-2009, 04:46 PM

On this trip Mitch it would be 200 miles more one way for me than you.
