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.

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!

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.

That last picture was one of my favorites. I use multiple Sony mirrorless cameras for my pictures and their crazy expensive lenses, but that one was taken with my iPhone 7+.
(and, my 26psi Yoko's ripped that road. LOL. Couldn't resist!)

LOL! I'll make the wall an artistic part of the rule of thirds...

Thanks for the ride!
Thanks for "taking us along" on your ryde! Your pics are gorgeous! It's been below zero and barely above here in Western MA all week! Supposed to snow again today
Poor Spyder is chilling out in the garage patiently (not really) awaiting Spring.
Enjoy your warm weather !

I feel your pain, went out in the garage and started it up. Might have even braved a short trip to Walmart if the roads would not have been icy....

I'm just a dumb Texan, but why couldn't you use something like this for the snow? Might be fun!

Beautiful pix
Todd,
come to Tombstone in a couple of weeks. We have a small get together but need a talented photographer!! 12-14 Jan. You are most welcome!
We are looking at 66-68 for the next week here in Las Vegas. Got so tired of snow, ice, gloom - we packed up and moved! We see no downside! Yes, it gets hot in the summer, but since we travel so much, it is no problem!!
cheers!
