Going
through a rock cut on FM 2222 EB. |
Sharp
curve ahead! |
I
was pretty lost, to tell you the truth, so I don't know where the heck this
picture was taken. But it was some road crossing Exposition Blvd. in
case you can't read. |
Another
road in Austin. |
Somehow,
my dad got us back downtown. |
US
183 kinda skirts the city. It is a freeway north of I-35 and an
expressway south of it. |
The
freeway US 183 is wide and elevated. |
US
183 NB at Loop 1, the Mopac Expressway. I think the C/D lanes you see
on the right are Old US 183. |
Taking
the exit for Loop 1, the Mopac Expy. Mopac stands for Missouri Pacific
like the railway that ran through here. I knew that before even coming
here!! I'm so cool. |
Duval
Rd. is where Dad's apartment was. |
These
BGSs are faded. |
These
wacky Texas interchanges have an option to turn around and go back where you
came from, as evidenced here. |
We're
back later at the Loop 1 and US 183 interchange. This is the longest
flyover ramp I've ever been on, going from Loop 1 SB to US 183 SB.
Good view of the city, too, although I didn't get it on camera. |
A
blurry view of US 183 and its surroundings from the flyover. |
SB
Lamar Blvd. The restaurant that Janis Joplin played at early in her
career is on this road, and is called Threadgill's. |
Alrighty then, that's about it for
Austin. No pics from downtown because I only went there at night.
But it is a really cool place to be! Live music and good food and
weird old dudes in thongs on the side of the road. |
