Routes

  • Austin to the Hill Country 2 stops · West out of the city: from the back patios where the EPs were written to the dry limestone counties where 'Kerrville Creme' is set.
  • The Offline Road 10 stops · Noah's journey in OFFLINE: a Greyhound east out of Los Angeles down the I-10 corridor to the Texas Hill Country, then a borrowed coupe on to Austin. Grounded in the manuscript; the line follows the real highways.

All Places

  • Austin, Texas Deep summer, neon over the river, the back patio where both EPs were written.
  • Benson, Arizona An I-10 station stop in southern Arizona. The engine idles, nobody moves.
  • Blythe, California A desert rest stop at the Arizona line, where Noah and Mira actually meet.
  • Dancing with myself Junction, Texas, out where the Hill Country goes quiet.
  • Do you see me now Frost Bank Tower, downtown Austin: the owl-eyed tower over Congress.
  • Helms A fictional Hill Country town between Kerrville and San Antonio: limestone, live oak, and the summer that holds OFFLINE.
  • Junction, Texas Where the Hill Country starts, and where Mira is gone. Folks transferred at Junction.
  • Kerrville, Texas The breakfast stop on the Guadalupe: twenty minutes, and the last ordinary morning before Helms.
  • Los Angeles The downtown Greyhound station: Noah transfers onto the eastbound bus and meets Mira's coach pulling in.
  • Memory of you Los Angeles, California, where the great escape begins.
  • Ozona, Texas A roadside stop in the Edwards Plateau: a pay phone with rates to Mexico stickered on the glass.
  • San Antonio, Texas The ticketed destination Noah never quite reaches. He drives past it, north toward Austin.
  • Seasons change Rosy's Diner, Benson, Arizona: a stop on the OFFLINE road west.
  • The Hill Country Limestone and cedar between Kerrville and Fredericksburg: quiet counties, long light.
  • Twenty in the jukebox Deep Eddy Cabaret, Austin: one of the oldest bars in town.
  • West Texas A Valero and a chicken-fried-steak counter off I-10, about 120 miles east of El Paso.
  • Who you are South Congress, Austin, Texas: the opening track of Offline.
