Starting point will be Austin, TX. The Dragon's tail is on the list, for a non weekend day to avoid the crowds on it. Looking forward to some proper mountain curvy roads again.

And thanks John for the suggestions. Will probably be building a map with lots of basic waypoints and see what the routes would look like. May just have a compass up to pay attention to most of the day, switching to GPS only when it's time to find the end point for a day. This worked well for me in the past.
