Took this route a 'thousand' times...great little drive. I would come 290 out of Houston, stop for a Coke at the Buckee's in Basrtop, pick up 183 in Austin (if you are not adverse to tolls, take 183A in north Austin), stop at the DQ at the 4 way stop in Cross Plains and wha-la, the next thing you know you are in the SE part of Abilene.
Just remember, mind your speed thru those small towns.
Thanks. I always thought I-10 to 71 was the fastest to Bastrop. There is a great Burger Joint North of Bastrop though if you are coming through that way. If you are taking 290 out of Houston, isn't it fastest to bypass Bastrop, stay on 290, and then grab 183A going North?
