We're back!!!
« on: July 09, 2009, 06:15:13 PM »
Well, since we couldn't go "slay the Dragon" Suraklyn and I went down to the Texas Hill Country (few hundred miles south of here) and rode around in the 100+ degree sun for a few days.  We also visited "Stonehenge II" just to be able to say we actually went someplace.

The R1150 RTP and his R1200ST ran flawlessly and the Hexhead consistently got about 4 mpg better than my 45 MPG.  It seems this RTP just likes 45 MPG as that's about what I get in my commute to work...

Now that we're back Monte can quit sniping at me... >:(

I don't think so, I'll have to get the map from Suraklyn to be sure but I think we rode part of the "Lost Maples"(?) route which was extremely "interesting".  Suraklyn dragged a peg a time or two on the ST...

The 3 Sisters are FM 335, 336, and 337.  If you went through Leakey & Lost Maples then you were on the route.  Stonehenge in Hunt is pretty cool.  I liked the Easter Island statues at the same place.

We have a local Stonehenge as well, over by the Maryhill museum just on the WA side of the Columbia on highway 97.  I don't know if it's full scale though.

At least it's not like the "Stonehenge" that was in the movie, "This is Spinal Tap"!   ;D
