Old Mason Road
May 25, 2024 This is the second in a series of posts about our explorations in the Texas Hill Country in late May 2024. Old Mason Road runs from Ranch Road 386, just north of Mason, Texas, to Ranch Road 1222 in Katemcy (pronounced “ka-TIM-see”), located in northern Mason County. It crosses the Mason Mountains,… Continue reading Old Mason Road
Behrens School Road
May 25, 2024 This is the first in a series of posts about our explorations in the Texas Hill Country in late May 2024. Behrens School Road may be the most beautiful road that we have explored to date. It runs between U.S. 87 and Ranch Road 386 in Mason County, a few miles north… Continue reading Behrens School Road
Bits and Pieces
May 6, 2024 Sometimes we visit a place or see something interesting that is not part of one of our normal adventures. Often, we are just going about our routine business and spot an interesting landmark or historical marker. Other times we will explore a sideroad that we previously bypassed. So, we end up with… Continue reading Bits and Pieces
More Wildflowers
May 5, 2024 With the flooding that is going on in Southeast Texas right now, I think it is a good idea to take a moment and think back to happier times when the weather was fairer. Please enjoy the images of flowers, below, that we took recently on various adventures. The first set of… Continue reading More Wildflowers
2024 Wildflower Tour
March 30, 2024 Kristi and I try to dedicate at least one trip every Spring to see the wildflowers. Washington County is one of the best places nearby to see them. Our favorite area to explore is between Washington-on-the-Brazos State Park and Chappell Hill, Texas, especially along Meyersville Road and the surrounding dirt roads. I’ve… Continue reading 2024 Wildflower Tour
Freedom Colonies
June 25, 2023 I have had a great deal of difficulty finding information on the places we have visited in the last few adventures. Though I would love to do thorough research in libraries and at local historical commissions, etc., I simply do not have the time and energy. The Web and our small personal… Continue reading Freedom Colonies
Hall’s Bluff and Wheeler Springs
May 20 and May 27, 2023 This trip was in two parts. I had originally mapped out two separate routes, meant to be explored over two separate days. But, after completing the first route we decided to go back and explore it a little more in-depth, and then end the day’s adventure by following the… Continue reading Hall’s Bluff and Wheeler Springs
Around (the Other Side of) the Lake
April 15, 2023 A lot of our adventures are unplanned and undocumented. Today’s drive was unplanned, and almost undocumented. It started, like so many, at our favorite Sonic restaurant. We were in the Spaceship Car and Kristi was driving when she decided that she wanted to “see some water.” So, we drove out to Lake… Continue reading Around (the Other Side of) the Lake
Epic and Beautiful
March 13, 2023 The day before this post was published was March 14, 2023. It marked five years since Patrick Shane Glasgow was killed in front of the entrance to the Franklin Drive Thru Safari near Franklin, Texas. While many tongue-in-cheek “celebrate” Pi Day, Kristi and I mourn it as the anniversary of the worst… Continue reading Epic and Beautiful
