A new Presley baby!


Will finally got his wish and brought home a (fairly) new 400cc scooter.
While we can only ride it while it is in the truck for now, we can't wait to get 2-wheelin"

Wonderful state park in Blanco Texas

We are loving this park.

We have made great friends.

There are a dozen towns, plus San Antonio and Austin, that are easy day trips.

Every road is beautiful to drive.

Alot of history, nature and museums.

We are going to come back here often!

We leave on March 21 to make our way home.

Luckenbach Texas, did not find Willy Nelson

We have made 3 trips to Lukenbach which is only about a 30 minute drive from us. The road, as is EVERY road out of Blanco is an amazing twisty paved road that begs for a motorcycle to challenge its curves and hills.
Hopefully we will oblige next spring!











One afternoon about 100 trailriders came thru. One cowboy could not wait for his beer so he road up to the bar. No problem getting served here!



kayaking the Frio river

Ran the rapids in my inflatable Kayak...actually the rapids were super tame.
This river is a major tubing destination. It is in Garner state park which is the most popular park in Texas. Over 3,000 people here some weekends.
Probably not more than 50 when we stayed for 3 nights end of Feb.






Boating up the Rio Grande

Here is Will in his shiny new folding boat zooming for the camera. We are about 8 miles from the launch on the Pecos river, but just across Seminole canyon from the point we walked to in our blog post "walking to the rio grande".
You can see the picnic shelter just above the bow of the boat on the hill.




This is the famous pictograph that gives Panther cave its name.

There are maybe 100 other pictures on the wall as well









Here is the guide map with a clear picture.
