I wouldn't want to be an inconvenience, perhaps a cup of coffee. I won't be able to get away from work in the spring time; although, I'm starting to plan a trip in the summer time. I'm thinking of going through TX, NM, up to CO, and after that I don't have a plan. Huh

So long as I get some solid dates from when everyone is free I'll look into taking some time off from work to make it work for me, otherwise I'm pretty flexible, just need about a months notice. I might turn it into a camping trip or something for me personally, since it can be a 100 mile ride one way TO the fun roads. Anyone wanting to join my camping would be more than welcome. Weather here in Texas around spring time is just about always ideal riding weather. Of course for those out of state you may have to "endure" weather that's not quite as nice.

Also, something to consider, there are cabins that will comfortably house 6+ people. Several years back my Dad, Brother, a few of our friends, and I rented a cabin (for like $110 a night if my memory serves me correctly) and all stayed in it. Just about as cheap as camping in my opinion. Maybe we could set something like that up.

Those roads, and some surrounding roads are extremely beautiful Texas Hill Country riding.

But as long as I get some dates, I'm totally down to join.

Ya'll got places you want checked out? Can't find enough info on the internot? Tell me what you want checked.

You tell me where, I go there. Address would be nice.
You tell me what you want looked at, I go look. I take pictures so you can look.

You tell me to warn them that a bunch of bad a$$ biker dudes are fixing to invade the establishment? Angry

They take one look at me and start laughing. Cheesy

Are the KOA pretty good? Are they worth looking into? I was at a camp store not long ago and they mentioned them as well.

Thanks for the info Versey

The koa at fredericksburg is $80 per night for a 4 person cabin
or $50 for a tent site.
another at kerrville is $45 for cabin, $30 for tent.

$45 is always better than $80 , when its outgoing ! Grin

$50.oo

is kinda more than I would have thought ... Maybe that's for a camper sight with hook-ups ? $80.oo for a four person cabin sounds good !

but $12.50 is even better. If the date works out for me (and I suspect it will), then $20.oo a night sounds Great !

I spent some of my military time in El Paso and went through San Antonio on the way there . At the time I was riding a Yahama XS650 and met a navy feller in Florida that was riding his Trimuph 650 (single carb.) home to San Antonio for leave. I had to make that Yahama work to keep-up with him when he'd open it up , and he got better fuel millage too. It was late in the day by time we got to San Antonio and I had to be in El Paso the next day so I didn't get to see much of the area. The ride from San Antonio to El Paso went on for a long way best I remember, and there were a couple spots where I pulled out my extra gas can. Wink

. But it was all Fun Stuff !

If I'm not mistaken that's $50 for ONE tent per site? I'd rather do the cabin for $80 and chip in the $20 per person and have a roof over my head and A/C. Of course, it also depends on if the wife wants to accompany me. If so, I may end up having to get my own Cabin.

I'll look around a bit more see if I can't find some other places, even if only for camping. I think LBJ ranch has camping available. If y'all think that would be kinda cool.

LBJ is a "day park". No camping.

http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/lyndon-b-johnson

Your best bet for staying in the middle of the "road action" is Fredericksburg or Kerrville.

I would lean towards Kerrville as a better jump off area. It puts you a bit closer the Three Sisters, and not that much further away from roads of interest off to the east.

Of course, there is nothing to stop you from moving your base around either. I'm willing to join up with you as I can, no matter where you may be based. Might take me a while to get there depending on which way you take off and when.

Lot the $$ talk to ya!
