For the Weather Less Fortunate

Took one for the team and hit one of the best riding roads in the USA the last three days: Highway 170 in Texas. It meanders along the Rio Grande River from Lajitas to Presidio.

Texas ain't flat. !

Arrrrrghhhhh Avast Ye Matey, no fair says the guy with a couple inches of powder and -12 degrees outside... , I think I'm driving down to Corpus Christi in March
Can you give me a best viewing route from CC to Lajitas, is it worth heading west from CC til I get to the border and following that up and around to Lajitas, Like maybe through Laughlin AFB (We're both retired USAF).

Google Maps suggests otherwise, UP to SA, then 10 west.

Wow, those peaks raise all the way to the sky. Nice shot of Pebble Hill.

You would definitely hit the 2nd best riding roads (in my opinion) of Texas: The Twisted Sisters. They are country highways that you do NOT want to miss. They are near Leakey, Texas.

But.... Texas is a very big state. You're looking at a LOT of driving to get from CC to Big Bend. Make sure you look at that distance. Keep in mind that it is very remote, too. Just Big Bend National Park is bigger than Rhode Island!

Good to see that there is "other" scenery--just as good elsewhere.

Just figured out how to post larger images on this forum! I love this community, but this forum is in dire need of an update.
