Fort Davis, TX! One of my all-time favorite places! I love driving the scenic loop but have ridden only a few miles of the flat end where 166 runs into 17 (

Nice shot of Sawtooth Mountain (above). To entire 70+ mile loop is a serious ride, much more than I've ever attempted. I hope to be back out there Memorial Day week next year, although it will be hot. I'd like to be there right now. We stayed in Fort Davis for Thanksgiving one year and the weather was gorgeous.
