Also, does anyone want to black out my fangs and rear? I'll pay you.

A local drive is always fun. Lime Creek Road by North Lake Travis is always fun -- about 14 mile drive one way, but an almost as fun drive getting to the road. Any other fun drives around here?

I was told to put in my so how about we just drive up and down the section of FM 2222 between 360 and Mopac about ten times?

^^ heh heh -- yes but everyone on that road -- not only the sports cars drivers -- thinks they are race car drivers. If you're all the way to 2222 and 360 you might as well continue down 2222 and head to Lime Creek Rd. Just Google "lime creek road austin" and you'll find lots of videos.

That section of 2222 scares the eff out of me. We could always roll out on 1431 to have lunch out of town too. It's a nice scenic drive. I'm down for anything, just plan something.

That section of 2222 is the FUN part, Tracie I get to drive it pretty regularly at times of low traffic but never in the Z If some idiot is speeding in traffic, I just let them go ahead - when it's clear I usually try to have some fun.

Here's my thoughts: Start around Lime Creek @ Anderson Mill. Run Lime Creek to 2222, then hit up maybe County Line for food afterward on 2222 just east of 360. Its right at the bottom of the scary section, Tracie, so it could be optional if some people wanted to do a quick run up and back down to the restaurant. Or a longer alternative is to start at 2222 and Mopac and run to Lime Creek to Anderson Mill and then back the same route to the restaurant.

Have we talked about dates? I know I've got a lot of busy weekends coming up, so I don't want to push for something that I won't be able to attend. A weekend in June probably works best for me, but I understand if y'all don't want to wait that long.

2222 to Anderson Mill and back via Lime Creek sounds good. That's probably less than an hour of driving.

I'm pretty much wide open as far as days/times so if you guys (why don't I just give in and say y'all) can agree on a date and time, just let me know.

Damn ... May sure went fast.

I dunno whether this is a good weekend to plan something. I'm guessing people have Memorial Day plans for the long weekend ....
