Horns win, but, not one of their better games.

Texas Daytripper As I flee inside to escape the swarming mosquitos, I pause and have great empathy for the Germans who landed on the Texas coast in the mid 1850's only to find that they had no transportation to transport them to their new homeland. They were stuck on the beach with no shelter against the onslaught of the mosquitos and their accompanying diseases. One has to admire their perseverence!

Care to share any ancestral mosquito endurance tips, Jesus? (Is it Jesus or Ramon, BTW?)

Have you ever wondered what lurks down that Texas back road that teases you off to the side of the main road? Or have you wished that you knew the story behind that old house or that small abandoned town? ...

Faith - Here is a map I did back in 1998. Go to Wimberley first, then find Flite Acres Rd off of 3237 out of Wimberley. Follow Flite Acres road east and watch carefully to the right for CR 174. Turn there, cross the Blanco River and keep going. Last I heard a few years ago was that Lil Arkansas was closed... being ...subdivided. If it's reopened, let me know! (BTW, 213 doesn't go through anymore) Carol KingRead More

I know about 123, that is the way we used to go, now there is a giant fence in the way!
There is supposed to be a waty to get to it on the back side, right out of SanMarcos.......
There is also a cool place to get into the Blanco at a park right next to where I-35 and Blanco meet up from SanMarcos , LEFT of the freeway!
Do you know where I am talking about?
It is right where the I35 sign is on the map, just to the left of it.

I think you figured out about Dudley Johnson park on the Blanco River (per your email). Use the copy of Texas Daytripper's 'Blanco River Tour' I sent you and you should be able to find stuff. OR, just explore.

Faith Schexnayder CaROL, DO YOU KNOW THE BACK WAY TO , oops hit that capps button...
Do you know the back way from SanMarcos, aquarena springs, over to Little Arkansas?
I just heard that they are still there, and want to go today to try to find it. I may just cry if I do find it! We spent lots of summer days in that water!

When we say its a "Whole other Country" Its no brag Mam, Just fact. I have lived and been all the way around the World. I am a 4th generation Texan. And as soon as I cross the border (Texas) I am home. I might be a few hundred miles from where I live, but I am home. I just arrived home from Gruene Hall. Had a great tim...e. Surrounded by my people. And yes, Georgeanne I did think of you while I was there !!! I remember you telling me how much you like it. A friend of mine who I have known for many years pointed to a picture on the wall by the door it was two Deputy Sheriff's with John Travolta in the middle.He smiled and said "Thats my Dad on John's right and Bill Clare on his left. Bill Clare passed away a few years back" I thought it was cool, so I thought I would share that with Y'all. Next time your in Gruene Hall please look at it. Those two Deputies are well known in Comal County. (pronounced Green Hall.) Buenos Dias mi Amiga's y Amigos.Read More
