BDR for Texas?

[Tom Cole]

Does anyone know if there is a BDR route for Texas from north to south or if one is in the works?
And then part 2 is... if not, who is interested in helping me piece one together?
As much dirt roads as possible from border to border.

The south sections should be pretty easy to source gravel, especially S SW of San Antonio. I’d expect you’d go west for the next portions. If you can find the Benchmark maps Texas road and recreation atlas, it has the surface type. I’ll bring it Saturday

I don’t think that there is much in the way of a BDR like those in some of the other western states. I did read this last night:

Austin to Lubbock and back; my first Expedition (or not)

My first expedition. Ish. Kinda. Only in the broadest possible terms. And even then, not really. I recently found myself needing to take a road trip from Austin, TX up to Lubbock, and I took the opportunity to get in a kind of soft-road, car camping shakedown for my new-to-me DD. The trip wound...

Maybe this could get you started!

Thank you. I've done a fair share of TX dirt Roads, which of most are west Texas. I'd like to link them up. Thanks for the post.

@Prerunner1982 @Roots66 Got any info about this?

@Laud may be of more help with this.
I know he has a route that circumvents the Texas state line and possibly an E/W BDR, I would be surprised if he doesn't have a N/S BDR as well.

There is also the T.E.A.T (Texas Epic Adventure Trail) that goes from Big Bend down towards San Antonio and then up towards Oklahoma.

I have not heard of T.E.A.T till you mentioned it. I took a look and wow, that is an epic route. Very Cool!
