I finally got off of my dead dog-tired azz and put together this year's Bluebonnet Run !
Here is the information, or you can go to our website: zclubofhouston.com
and check it out.

I have finally gotten an evening off of work, and have finally thrown this thing together...so here it goes...

The date is still the same...Saturday, March 31st...but as for the changes....

1st - THE MEETING PLACE HAS CHANGED !!!
We'll be meeting at Champion Nissan out on I-10 West. It's out by Katy Mills Mall. Take the Pin Oak Road Exit
We'll be getting there any time after 9am, but we will be leaving (I repeat, LEAVING Champion Nissan at 10am !!!! If you can't make it by that time, I hope you can catch up .

We'll be heading West on I-10 and taking the Sealy Exit, where we'll head North on FM36 through Bellville.
We'll take a left on FM159 and going through the town of Industry and on into Fayetteville for our first (and most important) stop of the day....LUNCH...at Orsak's Restaurant.
There is PLENTY of parking around the town square.
After Lunch, we'll stroll around a little...there are several neat little shops...and take a group photo in front of Orsak's.

We'll leave town, going North out of town on FM159, which T's into FM237 and go right into Warrenton, where we'll turn left and go to Ledbetter.
Here, we'll hang a right onto Hwy.290 and drive past the town of Brenham and turn North off of 290, onto FM1155 and into the quaint little town of Chappell Hill. We'll do a slow little cruize through town (there ain't much to it) and through the picturesque neighborhood.
What unique feature does the water tower have, here in Fayetteville? Don't know?...Well...I guess you'll have to see for yourself

We'll get back on FM1155 and go North for approximately 7.5 miles until it dead-ends, then we'll turn right (FM1155N) and travel 1.3 miles to Dillard Road. We'll turn left on Dillard Road and we'll be visiting the Chappell Hill Lavender Farm (on the right)

From here, we'll double back through Chappell Hill and turn left onto FM290 and from there it's pretty much a straight shot back into Houston.

Things to expect on this trip:
A fun day with your friends.
A delicious lunch.
Fun Roads.
Beautiful scenery.
A couple of photo stops.
At least one gas/potty stop.
...and...
our traditional club U turn (if you have to ask, you haven't been in the club long enough )

Remember...you don't have to be a member to come along...we ALWAYS welcome guests. Heck...you don't even have to drive a Z ! Just come on out and have a good time !

Looking forward to Zeeing everyone there.

I know of a much better, twistier route than what you have planned. I know the entire area like the back of my hand. The best place for the bonnets are at the old Baylor womens college in Independence, TX.
Take a look:

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

We've been that way a few times in the past...and you're right, it is a great drive !!!

This event is planned, but maybe next year?
Isn't the Antique Rose Emporium right around the corner?
My Wife LOVES that place !!!
