We take our motorhome to Austin every Thanksgiving to visit family.
There are a lot of different routines to take that are all basically the same. It could also depend on whether you are on the north or south side of town. We go to the south side.
From Austin we usually go to TX71 to Brady, to US87 to Lamesa and then TX137, then US385 at Brownfield, to US84 in Littlefield, to US60 in Fort Sumner, to US285, to I25 to Santa Fe.
But, we have also gone through Roswell or through Lubbock, since I prefer not to keep taking the same route. The one I didn't like was taking US183 through Lampasas, but that was because there was a lot of construction in town.
Or when driving a car we take US290 to I10 to US285. Since if you can keep at freeway speeds this is the fastest.
We also like Santa Fe Skies since we stayed there when evacuated due to forest fires. But there are a lot of other places to stay nearby if you want to stay in the moutains.
