ahh, I see, yeah I would never accept  6 hours commuting daily (3 each way).

Sorry, not trying to insult, just understand.  That being said, I don't understand the correlation you are trying to make between commute time and employment rates. As for sprawl, it sounds like Dallas/Ft Worth is very spread out, as the area I live in, the metro size is around 7,000 square miles but has ~1 million more people, thankfully, I just take light-rail/subway system as the traffic can be awful.

Sounds like the metro area you live in is over crowded. D/FW is spread out, but it's 2 different major cities and a medium sized city (Denton) each 20 minutes apart and growing together. Light rail is being developed, but just like the roads it's 20 years behind capacity.

Our Camaro club is getting together with some other clubs to cruise the Devil's Backbone Saturday.

We will be in Fredricksburg for a couple of hours also.

I'll be in my white chevy crew diesel.

I'll be in Fredericksburg Saturday at lunch. Meet me at the airport and I'll give you a plane ride

Ardy you have to look at it this way, here distance is looked at differently than most places because of the size of the state. Its not unusual to drive an hour to go eat dinner, but in that hour your in a different city. And I know people that drive 3 hours one way to work because they love where they live.

My dad drives to downtown San Antonio. Same thing, he loves where we live and loves where he works so he makes it work.

Hey.. you left out Arlington

The D/FW Metroplex is made up of about 35 cities, or so, which have almost all grown into one massive city.

I really missed the 221 truck stop when it burned down.

Thanks for the offer but we will have a crowd together up there. We'll be around town for a couple of hours. They have set aside parking for us while we eat and hang out. Might get by to say hi though.

Every time I drive through there I have to stop at Cabelas.

[Shuffler]

We had a great run on Devil's Backbone. We actually had a 2 hour layover at The Race Barn right next to the airport. Most of us are not into horse or dog racing so we ran into town. Hit the ice cream place, fudge, t-shirts. The norm for Fredericksburg.

We live between Canyon Lake and New Braunfels, no traffic its about a 45 minute drive. It ends up being about alot longer than that, though.

Love Canyon lake. My friends and I would load up the ski boat and drive down to Canyon on fridays after school or work and stay all weekend back during my high school daze.
