It goes, more or less, straight east from there. I bet you > haven't been to the Houston area RenFair, which is about 6 miles N of > Magnolia. I've been to the RenFair, but not lately. When I've gone, I've taken 105 to Plantersville and then south on 1774. And most of the times I've been to Houston, it's been to somewhere a lot closer to I-10 than US 290, so I've taken the SH-71/I-10 route a lot more times than the US 290 route. (And if I'm going to College Station, I take US-79 to Highway 6 and go south. That might be a better route from north of Austin to get to the RenFair, take 6 to 105 in Navasota. I'd have to drive it both ways to be sure, though, or at least take it both ways to Navasota.) Julia _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
