Take 281 north. Longhorn Cave is a fun half day stop. Marble Falls is a good place for lunch. Once you pass north of Marble Falls there is really nothing to see. so just take any of the roads north west to Amararillo. I guess if you have your heart set on seeing Lubbock and Abilene you can swing through those cities. Again there’s not much to see.
As for ice storms you’re just going to have to check the weather and road reports. They get some brutal winds blowing in that arctic air. I’m not worried about driving on ice but you get those white outs from the snow that can be dangerous.
Drive safe.
Thanks 8-)
I was gonna say, aren’t he curious what to do when he *gets* here?
Some of the best food in Texas is in Marble Falls. Highly recommend the Bluebonnet Café. Their lemon meringue pie is about 8 inches tall...or taller. They specialize in pies of many types, and the food is simply great.
