Texas State Highway Spur 69
Spur 69 is a four-lane state-maintained roadway in Austin, Texas. It is 1.2 miles (1.9 km) in length and is named Koenig Lane ( /ˈkeɪnɪɡ/). It forms a link between RM 2222 and US 290 at I-35. Spur 69 is signed over its entire length as RM 2222, rather than as Spur 69.
Between 1939 and 1945, Spur 69 referred to a short section of what is now SH 12 near Deweyville. The current location in Austin was first assigned in 1969.
In 1990, Spur 69 was redesignated as State Highway 169; the designation was reverted to Spur 69 in 1991. There already was a SH 69 at the time.

At Cherrylog Road I entered
The ‘34 Ford without wheels,
Smothered in kudzu,
With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,”

“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
