A nice little slice of travelogue. The destinations, both around South Austin (Guero's, Broken Spoke, Polvo's) and out in the Hill Country (not "the foothills") have a legitimacy you don't always find when people write about this area.
Whether you think the writing is cheesy or not, anybody who's ridden the Texas Hill Country knows the truth in the author's wonder. Of course, if they'd hit Creek Rd or Fitzhugh Rd out of Dripping, the Willow City Loop, or especially 337, he probably woulda dropped a load in his pants and been too embarrassed to write anything after soiling Lyle's custom Vanson's.
