Day 22 - Kerrville, TX to Blanco, TX: Deep in the Heart of Texas
Tuesday April 21, 2009, 64 miles (103 km) - Total so far: 1,572 miles (2,530 km)
Weather: Temperatures 47-85, winds NW 0-5 mph, skies sunny.
Today we continued through the heart of the Texas Hill Country. The morning was cool and clear as we left Kerrville. We rode for a several miles along the Guadalupe River before turning slightly north. Along the way, we went up and down all day long on lonely back roads. There are hundreds of ranches in this area. One ranch had Texas longhorns, but they ran off before I could get a picture. Besides the little towns of Comfort, TX., and Waring, TX., there was little more than isolated cattle ranches, scrubby forests, and lots and lots of hills. This was a nice ride because there was almost no traffic all day.We had a nice rest stop, in the tiny community of Sisterdale, at a winery that once was a cotton gin. The town of Blanco is on the edge of the German area in this part of Texas. It is a small town that has almost all of its businesses in the block around the Blanco County court house. Couldn't upload pictures today, hopefully I'll get them on tomorrow.
Until Later...
