Looking for a good drive from DFW
Hi everyone,
I am looking to take a day or weekend trip in the near future. I will be coming from the Dallas area. Does anyone have any good suggestions on destinations, scenic routes to take, twisties, or any other good ideas for a little spirited driving?
The drive down to Austin seems a bit straight and boring. (on I-35) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. The PSM will be ON for this trip.

I think you'll need to head west or south west. If you head towards Austin, there are some fantastic roads around Fredricksburg -where they have the annual Boxstoberfest. That drive would probably be better with an overnight stay. But those are the best roads I've ever seen in Texas.
Sorry, I've got nothing local for you.

If you're heading toward Austin, check the roads to Bandara, these are some of the twistiest and most scenic in that part of the state - the Hill Country.
You could always go east (I-20) toward Tyler - Texarkana. Not exceptionally twisty, but very scenic. Head south on St. Hwy. 42 to Kilgore and stop at the Country Tavern - Best Ribs and Brisket in TX, at least it's Geo. Bush the 1st's favorite.

This would be a good drive for you. Its on one of the top ten drives list.
The Talimena Scenic drive.

Not "too" far from Dallas.
Also, another good weekend trip is Eureka Springs. There is a yearly event called Porsche Palooza that you should try out. Info at www.pca-palooza.com
Or just explore on your own, really nice town.
