Wow. The Hill Country flooding last May really helped raise the lake level for Lake Travis.

These pictures are only two months apart, one in March, the other at the end of May 2015.

Should be a great view from the Oasis Restaurant!!

Be sure to sign up for your preferred Saturday Tour.
Tour Group 1 - is totally zen. Lunch at the Oasis (payment required), and a few stops after lunch at a few picturesque places. This is the Route Mike has planned out - and of course, I will be toting some people going on a more direct route to the stops.

Tour Group2 - is in the Spirit of the West. A long spirited drive, with only a stop for lunch.

**Event Sponsors are Needed!! $100 to put your business/logo on event tshirt and event sites.

Great looking route! Thanks for the work Mike.

Just as long as we avoid the "Free Alternator Wash" this time

I am going to do my best to arrive early Friday so that I can go check one of the roads I am concerned about (it has a few low water crossings). It should be fine, as that area hasn't received any significant rain in months.

Hoping it is dry, as this is one of the more scenic roads we will travel on.

Mike, I know how much time you spend plotting and routing these drives. I have heard from different people that we have among the best overall drives of all the GTGs.
We have you to thank for the routes and God to thank for the scenery.
Thank you both!
Mike, you have done a great job on every route you have done. Let me add my thanks.
