RR 1869 is a nice backroad that we often take when returning to Austin from a drive out in this area. There's a fair amount of traffic which interferes with the fun-factor, but it's still a very nice road to drive with typical Hill Country scenery. The best part is that there's a nice stop at the Shin Oak Observation Deck which is at the begnning of the road near 1174. This is a great stop for a photo-op with the cars. The road itself is in excellent condition with no cattle guards.
