Exploring around some dirt roads in Cedar Park.Fun time!

 

​

 

Morning the Chad!

Morning ATX! So close! Mods under the tree?

 

No tree, no presents. But I am taking a vacation with @lilred95 on Friday. Is it Friday yet?

 

For me, yes! Many others will have to wait!

 

​

 

Morning y'all! Getting the taco inspected this morning!

 

Visiting over the next few weeks to scout potentially moving. Any recommendations?

Franklins - Not worth the wait time for a week visit. I'm sure it's good, but I've had good BBQ before and not wanting to waste 6 hours of a vacation to wait for BBQ. Probably planning to walk around the city mostly, check out a few dog parks.

 

Do they ever want to get in the camper?

 

Good morning y'all! I'm working today. It's a ghost town here at work, but I'll be out tomorrow and Wednesday. Counting down the hours ⏱️

 

Ha, I get many many questions about it. So far the only person to ask to to climb in it is @Beretta4x4 's kiddo Stuart

 

Howdy, lots to do here.

 

PS what is traffic really like? That's all everyone ever complains about, but I'm used to Boston/Providence. I hate bumper to bumper, I have a 15 minute commute and it's great - but is traffic really that bad or is it just a buncha whiners?

 

Depends which way you going and at what time. My office is 3.1 miles from my home.. I dont deal with traffic hardly, ever.

That being said, coming down mopac in rush hour you could be there from 30min to 1.5hrs

 

Where you moving from?

 

I moved from LA. I do not consider the "traffic" here to be bad, but I am also worst to a literal hell of gridlock. There is nothing more frustrating than sitting through multiple cycles of green lights since the car in front of you cannot move out of the way.

I had a 15 mile, 2 hour commute. My coworkers complain about a 10 mile, 30-40 min commute. Seems that it just depends on where you are going and when. There are slow downs at rush hour and it looks like the bridges get pretty backed up, but I think if you can avoid the hot times, you'll be just fine. I've driven around a decent amount and haven't been very annoyed.

As I said though, take that with a grain of salt as I am a broken man... haha

 

getting my lift and tires installed next weekend. Any good recommendations for some light trails near cedar park?

 

What about bikes? I ride bikes a lot and willing to ride to work, if that gets me there. City seems pretty flat.
