Best Nighttime Drive

FM 2222

At the junction of 2222 & Loop 1, noise and light pollution surge in a rush of convenience stores, video rental places, and hair salons. Take a turn onto 2222 West, and all that fades away as blackness swirls in to drape the night. It's too bad that it takes a road through the Texas Hill Country for us to be able to fully enjoy it so easily, conveniently, and safely at night, but it's one of the sexiest roads we have. Full of curves and hairpin turns, 2222 is exciting to cruise. The threat of falling rock is clearly identified by little signs lining the road, just so you know.
