A good choice but stay on 35 to the toll (45) then take 620. Faster by about 25
minutes.

Ronnie: No good for you, but while stopped in traffic between the airport and
Bastrop I had an idea thinking through maps in my head. From Nacogdoches it's
7 to Eddy, I-35 to Belton, then out to Lampasses (sp) through Killeen to 281
then right down to Johnson City and Fredericksburg. It's only like 20 miles
further and no place where the traffic will bottle you up except possibly a
short stretch on I-35.
Just a thought off the top of my head: I-10 to San Antonio and out 281 to
Johnson City. Couldn't be much further and it avoids Austin.

I hate to, but I have to agree with Sammie on this one.
I would rather to downtown Houston on 45 at rush hour than try the southern
route through Austin. It took me 4 hours to drive from the Buckee's in Bastrop
to Fredericksburg on Friday afternoon.
I left the Classic early to try to make through Sunday afternoon and it only
took 3 1/2 hours for a 2 hour drive. However, on Sunday, the culprit was the
construction in Bastrop backed up all the way to the airport.
I will tip my hat to the police in Giddings that took control of their 4
traffic lights through town on 290. Sailed through there without stopping,
while the cops in Bastrop were drinking sweat tea somewhere while the traffic
was backed up for 20 miles trying to get through the stop light on 21 & 71.
I've looked on the map and I don't see an alternative to driving through
Bastrop, the airport, Austin and Dripping Springs - 71 to 290.
If there's a choice please share.

Well, let's see; I 35 through Austin, 290 out by the airport, and that thing
that they call the MO-PAC. And mo-pac is correct, there is a lot of mo-pac,
but not sure they could pac anymore cars on that thing. Last time I went down
the mo-pac it took about 1 1/2 hours to go from the start on the north side to
the end on the south side, a total of what, about 5 miles or so. Last time
(coming back from the Classic) it took 1 1/2 hours to go from the airport to
Bastrop (about 20 miles) stop and go the entire way. We used to (late 50s)
drive our sports cars out the 2222 from town all the way to the lake as fast as
we felt safe and never saw a house and very few other cars. Austin traffic now
is as bad as southern CA around LA. A friend of mine is a Texas DOT engineer
and told me a couple of years ago that Austin had the highest traffic count on
their freeways of any city in Texas. I love Austin, just as I love southern
CA; just one problem now: There are too many )(&(%^&#$$^#@ people living
there.
