I think a really nice ride would be take alt 90 think it is and hit 36 and head to Brenham especially nice with the bluebonnets comming out.Also,while around Brenham take in the resturant at the airport very good food.A big welcome to the group
You could head east on I-10 to the Hankamer exit (I think exit 812) - Hwy 562 south to the intersection with 1985. From there turn right to Smith's Point. One of the best places to watch migratory birds of prey. From there head back on 1985 to 124. At that intersection you can choose to go north to Winnie then right on 73 and find Pine Tree Lodge. Good fish. Lot of bikes and music on the weekend. Crowded as heck.Alternatively, from the intersection of 1985 and 124, head south to High Island, turn right. Go though Boliver. You could eat at the Stingeree or cross the ferry and find something to eat in Galveston.
