@rscoleman .... everyone is welcome to come.....unless they are in a Ford

I'll meet everyone at the Stripes in Llano since I'm a bit south and east of Liberty Hill. Looking forward to it.

Alright.....we got a pretty good head count so far. Weather looks crappy tonight, but the forecast is for incredible weather tomorrow. The good news is that even if it rains hard tonight, all the gravel roads we'll be on will be easily passable.

So, we will be rolling from the Corner Store/Valero off Hwy 29 in Liberty Hill at 8:30 and arriving at the Stripes in Llano by 9:30 (ish). Remember, there are TWO Stripes in Llano....one off 71 and one off 29. We will be meeting at the one off 29. Keep my number handy so we can coordinate: (512) 800-1421. Text me this evening and let me know if you're meeting at Liberty Hill or Llano.

@aljollano ... you've got my number and I know we'll meet up at the Cooper's in Mason around 12:30-1:00.

Looking forward to seeing everyone that can make it! This is going to be fun

A few pictures from the first half of the drive.
Thanks for the open invite @geanes and it was a pleasure meeting everyone. Everyone had some killer rigs, although a little partial to Mauricios exploring 80 series

Man I wish I wouldn't had to work today. Looks like a scenic venture!

I'd like to tag along on a future run!!

 

[Beagle]

That looks like so much fun! Wish we could have come. I'm there next time you do it on a Sunday!

 

[bottombracket]

The full trip from my house in Pflugerville with a lunch stop usually takes 8-9 hours. When I go by myself, I do stop a lot and take in the views.

I do have the full GPX/KML files for the route I can send and/or can share my folder in GAIA with you if you're using that platform.

@geanes
can you send the route file please?
i am also located in pflugervile

Can you send the pin/coordinates for that spot by the river under the cliff pictured above? Want to make sure I don't miss it when I do this route. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for organizing this trip @geanes. It was great meeting everyone and a trail trail.
