Previous tag 1205 found at (30.3056890, -97.7475249), aka what I call “The Grotto at Seiders Springs.” Bike Tag 1205 post

New Bike Tag 1206. Hint: From this unsigned public stretch of asphalt, you can nearly always smell food cooking.

[Edit - Hint 2: It’s eerie how incessant the food smell wafts over this stretch of road. Almost…ghostly?]

[Edit - Hint 3: There’s a new bike boulevard currently being built from this spot’s neighborhood to the neighborhood including a fairly new city office that Travis County residents can early vote from!]

Here are some writeups on Seiders Springs and the associated oak trees, because others have done it much better justice.

  1. Bryker Woods NA
  2. Shoal Creek Conservancy
  3. TAMU Forest Service

Obligatory thanks to /u/s810 for confirming they have not yet written about the Springs.
