Default Murphy's Steaks AND 3 Sisters?

Suppose we (tentatively) plan:

July 6: Murphy's Steakhouse and

July 20: Visit some of the 3 Sisters?

(July 13 at the Rim?)

I've never driven the 3 sisters. How long does each one take?

I think I did the whole thing in an hour. It's possible 1 or 2 speed limits were broken.
There's other even cooler roads in the area.

July 6 is Houston Coffee and Cars but if a bunch of people are going to Murphy's, I'll be there (presuming I still have the Crossfire).

We'll do Murphy's at 4 or 5, so it should not conflict with the Houston 'Coffee and Cars'

What are some of the roads in the area that you liked better than 3 sisters, Beep? And I can not believe you drove the entire route in an hour! Looks like several days to me!

Lets have Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin folks plan on a steak at Murphy's. And post here, so I can have a tentative count for the management of the Steakhouse!

We have Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas: Let's have a great steak on July 6! I'll call Monday and then again closer to the date to confirm any new Crossfires. And, Beep, come in any car. You are always welcome.

3 Sisters refer to several of the twisty roads around Leakey. Google it and you'll get a map. Maybe we could all meet in Leakey that day and venture out from there.

The Rim is a shopping Center off I-10 and 1604 (San Antonio). I have never been, but I understand there is a Lowes there that allows Car Nuts to park and tell stories in their parking lot. Our old location was shut down due to fast driving and too many 'burn-outs'!

Sandy, you might try to keep all this on one thread so there will be no confusion. Another issue would be trying to do 3 trips in one month. In the past it has been tough to get sufficient participation for one GTG in a month. I wish I was going to be available so I could support your efforts by having just one more Crossfire show up.

Bill - I thought about being conservative, but as you know, I am a teacher. So, summertime is it for me. I don't get to go to the other activities, very often.

I appreciate your efforts to attend, but I will probably do these 3 weekends regardless of participation. I am declaring July to be Crossfire Month!

And thanks for the information on the 3 Twisted Sisters! I did not know.

Put me on the list as tentative, party of two. Of course, I may bring rain, so y'all may not want me to attend.

Wife has me scheduled for college tours in Dallas for the son for that weekend - I am working on getting that rescheduled.

Actually, G (if I may call you that for short), I already had you on the tentative list. I do not believe you control the weather, so don't worry about bringing rain.

I don't know where to meet up. I have no idea how many folks are showing up. Coming from different directions, people may want different routes.

Tomorrow, I'll drive up to San Marcos and see if there is a good meeting place at exit 205. I was thinking of an early dinner so we can drive together somewhere after dinner. I'll post tomorrow.

Sandy, here is a link on how we previously organized a GTG at Murphy's Steak house. CTC and HAXFD GTG Jan 15

Route we took coming from the South.

Bear Right on TX-80
Turn Left on TX-21
Turn Right on STATE HIGHWAY 71
Continue on TX-21 E
Continue on TX-71 E
Take ramp toward TX-95 S/TX-230-LOOP/SMITHVILLE/FLATONIA
Turn Left on TX-95
Continue on FM-153
