Sightseeing & Corner Carving Tour
Saturday, November 19, 2011

Planned by John Hughan


Austin and its surrounding territories are home to some of the most inspiring natural beauty in Texas, and luckily for us there are some equally stunning roads running through it all! This event will take us through 8 cities spanning 3 counties along 107 miles of some of the most beautiful and most fun country roads this area has to offer. Feast your eyes on the rich scenery, admire the vast, spectacular views of lakes and hills, and as you rediscover your car through the many dips, twists, and turns along the practically zero-traffic route, be reminded of the difference between commuting and actual driving. Keep your windows or convertible tops down and your engine revs up!

We will meet at 9 AM in front of the Westwood Country Club for a 9:30AM departure.

From there our spirited scenic drive will continue until approximately 2:45 PM, ending at Bull Creek Park. Bring some snacks and beverages to share and perhaps a swimsuit for yourself! Relax with fellow members surrounded by nature - chat at the picnic tables in the shade of the trees, bask in the sun on the grass or smooth rocks, or go for a dip in the cool water.There's even a volleyball net out on the grass as well as some hiking trails for those who may wish to round out a morning scenic drive with an afternoon scenic walk.
