Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

We could save $10.50 and take 290 all the way to I-35 but it might add 10 minutes or more..??

Just for your information, and I am not sure of the amount of time it will save you but, you can go 290 to 183 N then to 35N.  You cut out a loop you would make, and I think you only add 1 light.

Traci,

I know that you have not made the time to read all 8 pages, but I already asked that people who are bringing ATV's are bringing them for helping moving or pulling rocks out and around, and not for joyriding or hotdogging.

Now, I know your little one is not going to be doing that kind of thing, but that is what I asked as a request of everyone.

Also be aware that it is my Aunts property, and I asked Jesper to make sure that if you bring your kids, that there is no going and blaming or suing my family incase of accident, and also we are about 20 miles outside of town.  Should there be a problem, and not just with kids, but with all of us, there is no quikc ambulanace and life flight ability.  It's Burnet, Texas.

Just wanted everyone to be aware.

Traci, you guys are more than welcome to come along, just keep these things in mind in making your decision.

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

Fair enough.  I definitely understand.

I haven't read all 8 pages, but I think I should.  I thought I got the main stuff, but I completely missed the ATV portion.  I got that it's going to be cold, there are snakes and insects (it is nature after all), and there will be hiking.  We'll need lots of water.  Tools....we'll make sure to come prepared.  :)

This is very generous of you and your family and I certainly don't want to do anything to disrespect that.

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

ok then...lets take 183 to I-35 and then turn left onto 29 just before Georgetown.

If there was a place in Liberty hill to meet it would sure save some miles about 25 roundtrip.

I wonder if there is anything at the intersection of TX-29 and 1869.  Gas station maybe?

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

Even Bertram could be good.

Possible TX-29 and FM-243

I might be guessing, but I think there was a place Rick's gas guzzling Hummer had to gas up.  I just cannot remember if it was Bertram or Liberty Hill where we got gas at.

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

I will be in College Station till very late tonight.

I might leave Raul in charge of the convoy from Aquarium World.

I may, meet each of you at the Dairy Queen in Burnet, or if we can decide to meet at the first gas station we come too in Liberty Hill.

I think meeting in Liberty Hill at about 10:45 - 11:15AM may be the best thing because it would save about 20 miles not needed.

Let me know...

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

Geoff,

Please PM me with your cellphone number since we are leaving directly from Katy to meet in Burnet..  I was thinking I want to call you when we hit 290 in Elgin (coming up 95 from Bastrop) and see if we are ahead or behind you all.

Thanks
Jesper

PS I Have Raul's number so in case he is leading the 290 route I will call him :)

Margaritas Restaurant (100 US-183, Liberty Hill, 78642)

If I had to vote for anything then I would vote for the food mart.. here you should be able to pick up Coke Classics for Geoff's Family, other refreshments needed, and then we can hit the rock hunt quick :)
My Brichardi, Leleupi's and Mbuna's are you to be so thankful of this trip :)

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

man I was looking at that Margarita's Resturant...

The Liberty Hill Food Mart looks best to me also.

Is this ok?

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

Sounds good to me.

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

Margaritas is where all the roads intersect, 183,29 and I forget the other one but anyways its in the middle of BFE and one of the only businesses out that way other than the gas station which is next door to it.

Re: Rock Dig III - Burnet Texas

It looks like the food mart has to be located VERY close to the same intersection.  TX-29, TX-200 and TX-332 are all crossing at the intersection per maps.google.com but then again who knows.. i am attempting to get a hold of a friend of mine who lives in Burnet and see if he could tell me exactly where we could meet without going all the way to Burnet.

We might need another chainsaw if someone has one...

The forecast for Saturday is in the 30's so it’s going to be cold.  Wear appropriate clothing, and bring refreshments.

Take care,
