Posted about this in the Lounge but also wanted to ask on here.

Austin is only 4 hours from Eagle Pass, which is right across the border from Piedras Negras. I'd like to drive out there on the weekend, spend a day there, then maybe stay the night in Eagle Pass before coming home. Has anyone else been? Is it a pretty nice town to visit? I originally thought about Nuevo Laredo but quickly learned that was a bad idea
