The Lakota Ranch gate is quite nice. We wonder where the names come from.....are they historic or just family names....? or in this case, some relationship to the Lakota Indian Tribe??
This Lone Star gate is a good example of how the simpler designs can be very attractive.
This gate on the Willow City Loop on the way to Llano, TX makes one pause.....does he/she own Pizza Hut franchises or is it because the ranch roof was red?? While driving "the loop" we stopped to ask a question or two of a fellow who was locking up a ranch gate behind him....his answer to the size of this particular ranch was "oh, it's just a few acres.....maybe 500 or so"!! Well, that speaks volumes.
When we mentioned to this same fellow that we were headed to Cooper's Pit BBQ in Llano he replied "that's some good eatin' thar". And he sure is right about that! Here is the pit of meat that you select as you enter Cooper's. You take your selections inside where you pay by the pound and select your sides and sit at long tables with other folks, use a large piece of wax paper as your plate, roll up your sleeves and dig in. We have been to Cooper's three times....and there sure is some good eatin' right there!!
This is some great art work atop a Hill Country Gate.
And still another very elaborate example of the art involved with some of these gates. This one atop the gate at Rocky Top Ranch.
The Texas Longhorns seem to be few and far between....but we have spotted them on occasion like this fella...we are told their neck muscles are massive in order to hold up the weight of these horns!!
And my personal favorite of ALL the ranch signs...yup, this beats out the likes of Plan B Ranch and the Pizza Hutt Ranch....I would love to meet the folks who live here....this says it ALL!
