Event planned by
Josh & Kathryn Butts

Get your engines ready for a GREAT weekend of driving in the Texas hill country!

For the 2016 Annual Utopia Weekend event, we'll be home-based out of Kerrville for the weekend. If you've never had the pleasure of driving these roads west of San Antonio, I can tell you they are the best you'll find in Texas.

We'd be happy to have you join us for any or all parts of the weekend! If this will be your first event with the club, you could not have picked a better one. If you're a seasoned veteran, Kathryn and I are looking forward to seeing you again soon!


As far as accommodations go, any hotel in Kerrville will work fine. I've found some pretty decent deals using Hotels.com's pre-pay option combined with online coupon codes.

Friday, October 14th:

We have a reservation at Grape Juice in Kerrville (623 Water St, Kerrville, TX 78028) from 6:30pm - 8pm.

If your travel plans allow for it, please join us for a casual dinner, drinks, or whatever you're in the mood for. We'll be there at 6:30pm but consider this a come and go as you please event. The restaurant is planning to be flexible with us and is expecting that not everyone will arrive exactly at the same time, so if you don't arrive in town till a little later, you can still drop by and hang out and get a bite to eat or a glass of wine.


Saturday, October 17th:

We'll meet 8:30am at the Walmart at 1216 Junction Hwy in Kerrville around 8am. (Get directions)

Don't worry, there's a Starbucks right across the street. I estimate we'll depart around 9:00am.

From there we drive a good chunk of the 3 Sisters. Lunch will be around noon in Leakey at The Friend's Grill. After lunch we'll proceed back to Kerrville. I estimate we'll arrive back in Kerrville around 3:30pm. Plenty of time for a nap.

We have a dinner reservation at Cowboy Steakhouse in Kerrville at 7pm and we'd love for you'd to join us.

If you're looking for something a little more low-key, there are plenty of fast food and casual dining restaurants within 5 miles of most of the hotels in the area.

Sunday, October 18th:

We'll meet at the River Hills Mall at 200 Sidney Baker St South in Kerrville at 8:30am, planning to depart around 9am.

We'll take TX 16 south towards Medina, and then head East through Bandera and Boerne.

Lunch will be at the Luckenbach Feed Lot around 11:30. From there, you're on your own, but it's a quick shot back to San Antonio or Austin, and also very near Fredericksburg if you want to head into town and do some shopping.
