Getting to LOG 43, Better Together
LOG 43 Guided Drives: Driving Central Texas
What’s better than a guided drive through Central Texas and the Hill Country? How about two of them!
You’ll get the local treatment as we explore some of the favorite roads, sights, and amenities of LOOT on Saturday and Sunday. And each run has also been designed to work with the main events of LOG, so join in and enjoy the ride!
Both drives have been planned and will be led by Driving Adventures USA (DA USA) which has put on 137 driving tours over 19+ years in Texas, Colorado, and Arkansas.
(Each participant, driver and passenger(s), will need to digitally sign a DA USA liability waiver prior to the drive. For your safety and to participate in the banter, it is recommended that you bring a FRS/GMRS radio.)
Saturday: Marble Falls and the Hill Country
We have prepared an exciting and unforgettable drive through the Texas Hill Country on some of the most scenic and curvy roads near Austin. The drive will start following the concourse on Saturday in Marble Falls. Our 161-mile driving adventure will include some of the most twisty and scenic roads specially-picked for their fun factor, with lots and lots of elevation changes, some of which will make you giggle or scream (or both)! We don’t call it the Texas Hill Country for nothing. There will be two restroom/social breaks at scenic locations.
Sunday: Mosing garage, COTA and F1 track
Today’s early morning tour will start at the hotel and end at the world-famous F1 track, the Circuit of the Americas in time for the Parade Lap opportunity. Our 82-mile route will include some of the most scenic roads in Austin including a fantastically curvy road known only to local car enthusiasts. There will be two restroom/social breaks, one of which will be at the large and impressive personal car collection of our good friend, Jeff Mosing.
