Monday in the Hill Country

It was a little warm out, low 90's, but we decided to go for a drive and see how dry the country was around here.  We went south on 16 out of Kerrville to Medina, then west on 337 to Vanderpole and Lost Maples State Park, then over to Leakey where we stopped for coffee and peach cobbler.  North on 83, then east on 39 to Hunt, then Ingram, then back to Kerrville.   We only did 337 on this trip.   Highway 337, 335 and 336.Those 3 highways are what are called the 3 twisted sisters(strange name) which the motorcyclists just love.  Lots of hills, turns, lots of river crossings and great scenery.  I'll post a few pictures here now.

I bet the bikers don't slow down to this speed.

It was a nice trip (120 miles) and we took most of the day to do it with all the stops.  Good thing I filled up with gas yesterday as the price rose 12 cents to $3.35/gal. today.  Sure doesn't have much to do with the price of oil.  Well off today to do some visiting.  Bye
