Made a quick trip to San Marcos, TX to deliver my daughter to college and I
caught glimpses of seriously curvy roads and I know that there are awesome
roads there. I'll be doing more research but, as part of that research, I'm
wondering if we have some people with first hand (or second hand) knowlege
of which roads I need to meet!

Help me!

I just got back from a trip to Guadalupe River State Park which is off Hwy.
46 about 7 miles west of Hwy. 281.  Nothing much to report there.  I'm
pretty sure if you venture further west toward Bandera and Garner State Park
that you will hit some good curvy roads like along route 470.  That may take
you a couple of hours off the beaten path.

miatadrives.com has some suggested roads in and around the area too.

Not to change the subject Chris, but SWT is a well known party school <g>

Hope this is not a duplicate post.   Apologize in advance if it is.

I was going to say don't remind me...........then you reminded me..........
oh well.

Ya, I'm aware of the reputation and that it may be well earned however, it
also has a very good reputation for being one of the best schools for
learning the teaching profesion. We'll see.

Roads, roads, roads come on now.

Chris -

Mark San Marcos as Point-A

Draw a line about 75-100 miles due West and mark Point-B

Do the same Southward, mark Point-C

Now an equidistant line Eastward, mark Point-D

All you have remaining is to pick a road in the box and drive it!

(If you want something a little more precise, find Medina, TX on the
map, grap FM-337 until you hit Camp Wood, hook a right on SH-59 onto
FM-335, ride it until you hit SH-41, go straight until you turn right
again onto FM-1340, when you hit Stonehenge-II you'll catch SH-39
through Hunt, Ingram and Kerrville.  Stop, refuel and catch I-10 back
to where ever you choose...)

Cheers!

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl.

Your precise route is already one of my favorites!

Chris -

I've taken that route twice in the past month.  Coming up from San
Antonio, I stop for fuel in Bandera and once more in Kerrville.  (I
normally tend to feed both car and self in Kerrville...)

I'm heading toward the Devil's Backbone in Winberly later this month
with the Blue Bonnet Miata Club.  -- Info can be found at:
