TEXAS MISCELLANY


Amy, Pam and Ali at the "make believe" town of Luckenbach.
(last year's blog had an entry of the Luckenbach history)


Yes, sir...Texas Stonehenge.  Two fellows started piling rocks as a prank back in the 1990's...and the "prank" ultimately led to Stonehenge II in the Texas Hill Country town of Ingram.



Here is a fancy gate we came across that I inadvertently left out of the Ranch Gates blogs.  A wider view showed the gate flanked by two bronze lions.   





Many folks think of Texas as flat...and sure enough it does have its flat areas.  But not in the southern part of Hill Country.  This photo was taken along County Road (CR) 337, and we were rewarded with great views at every turn and every apex.







Another gorgeous view from atop one of the hills on CR 337.
                                On our way to Utopia!



The Willow City Loop Ranch is very clever.  They put an old cowboy boot on each fence post....when they ran out of old boots they began mounting hats on the fence posts.





These same fellas, Dave and Al, also came up with a couple of likenesses from Easter Island....here's one of them.   Some prank, eh?



                    Getting ready for a ride in the Hill Country



We made it to Utopia.  To find out what it's like, well....maybe a visit of your own is in order.  (we will say this....it wasn't Nirvana!!)
