Default Twisted Sisters Drive - Houston, San Antonio, Austin

Calling all Texas 3IS owners who want to meet up and drive.

After much digging on the web, I finally found something worth sharing.

The Twisted Sisters..Highways 335, 336 & 337 (see link below)

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?m...849999998&z=10

The route itself is just outside of San Antonio and South of Fredericksburg. It's a 100 mile loop chalk full of elevation, twisties, vista points and pit stops. I am thinking it'd be pretty cool to arrange a drive with whoever is down in the Texas region (might be kind of far for Dallas).

We can all meet up in San Antonio in the AM and hit the road first thing in the morning. I would get a hotel room the night before because this road actually seems like it's worth it.

Just as a caveat. Yes, we would go faster than posted speed limits, but I don't want this to be a crazy and dangerous drive.

Awesome! I am thinking first or second week of November. We might be able to see the fall colors.
