Planning Thread: Austin to Big Bend, Texas

[Stichill_imp]

I'm looking forward to meeting you in person at the rally, Sea! Could be that we cook up a joint expedition for later this year or next.

Ferret, the part of this story that I forgot to mention: I had taken the family on vacation to San Antonio in 2010. One day we took the rental car west into the Hill Country in search of authentic Texas BBQ (found it at [url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/Two-Fat-Boys-BBQ/128827993842616]Two Fat Boys in Camp Wood). We ended up driving much of the Three Sisters before I knew they were a motorcycle "thing". However, something stirred deep in my soul and I found myself obsessing on the idea of learning to ride a motorcycle and coming back someday to ride these same roads through the pleasant hills and ranch country. Two years later (in 2012) I made the spousal announcement that I was getting a motorcycle, weathered the protests...and the rest, as they say, is history. I'm absolutely giddy that here I am, 8 years later, and I'm actually going to experience my formerly pipe-dream motorcycling fantasy!
