Day 44 - (09/22) Austin, TX

We had quite a rain storm last night. The temperature dropped 30° and today is overcast.

We originally planned to stop at Kerrville for a few days then move on to Austin to visit friends Bruce and Barbara Stevenson. The weather isn’t encouraging sightseeing, the drive to Austin is fairly short, and the Stevenson’s encouraged an early arrival … so we’re changing plans.

The 151 mile trip passes through Fredericksburg and Johnson City to Austin. MapQuest couldn’t locate the Stevenson’s new home last year, but provided an accurate itinerary this year. Starting on I-10E, we took US 290E, RR12, RR3238, TX-71, RR 620 and N. Quinlan Park Road. How does MapQuest figure out this sequence of roads and turns?

We spent time investigating a wireless PC connection problem with Time Warner and got 1 of 2 running reliably.

Bruce prepared an outstanding dinner of Chicken ala Eddie. It was delicious, but we were sworn to secrecy on the recipe.
