It connects the two state parks.....start in one park and take the road to the other park.

Of course I live in Oklahoma, so what do I know.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Born in Texas--die in Texas. Traveled some and seen some beautiful places in other states and countries but Texas is home. I have never wanted to live anywhere else. You will enjoy riding Texas roads and Texas has so many geographical changes in it's borders.

Howdy,
Local to the area and it is beautiful. Regarding dealers, I have limited experience with Cowboy Harley, but it has been positive. I recognize they are in business to make profit. Welcome if you decide to make the move.

Outside of Ausin is some great riding. In and around Austin traffic is horrific. Also Austin is full of liberal weirdos. I go there for ROT. Otherwise I wouldn't live in Austin rent free. Just my .02 and yes I'm a native Texan.
