Whoever gets there first, try to get a decent sized table and mention to the host or whoever that there will be more Camaro guys showing up. Then when anyone else shows up they can just mention that.

Ok! If anyone is not on the way yet, we reserved a table for 8-10 with potential for expansion if needed. Y'all need to be fixin' to get over here asap!

(Been practicing my Texas-speak.)

Ok Jason, this is where you write your review of your visit and tell us what you liked/didn't like, if you think you want to move here, etc.

Lots of crap waiting for me when I got back, so I only have a limited amount f time.

It was cool. Everyone was so damn nice. The roads are kinda neat, I love the skyways.

The heat was fine, I can deal with that.

I was hoping to find more open spaces, but I am sure I can find them if I look a bit further. We just didn't have much time.

It was great seeing friends. Had a wonderful time overall. Yes, we'd be interested in moving there if we had to. We might know by the end of this year, or possibly sooner.

Thanks to all for helping us make our trip very memorable.

Here in MI, there is typically only one overpass going over the ground level road, and not very high, supported by earth except where the ground level road passes through.

However, what I call "skyways" are the one that are WAY the frick in the air, with multiple levels.

I take the E. Ben White to I-35 North flyover every day on my way to work, and I always look forward to it because you can see the entire city from up there

That spot where the toll road (45) hits I-35 in Round Rock is also pretty crazy... you're basically up there with the birds.

Jason, did you get to make the drive on the west side before you flew back?

Yup, we sure did. We like it a lot better...it seemed to be kinda quiet there, which is what we were looking for. The directions were awesome!

Glad you guys made it out there Isn't it amazing how different it looks from the rest of the city? There are some amazing views from the tops of the hills out there.

We are thinking of coming back down again in a few months and bringing our son for him to check the place out.
