Texas has a very large volunteer road-kill clean up crew

We are riding the 3's today

That's hwy 335, 336, and 337

There wasn't a lot of water flowing in the creeks, but there were these remaining pools here and there

Don and Laura

There were only a few places on this ride where we could safely get off of the road to take pictures

So we took on of the whole group

A reminder to ride safe

If you're viewing this.........I did!

Nice view of the valley

You have to be careful in TX because there are a lot of fake ones

These gates open when the water flows hard but self close afterward to keep the animals off of the road

Group shot of bikes and riders

The Might Stonewall with his rented Beemer. He flew down from Canada

We ate Tex-Mex for lunch. I prefer the real Mexican food back in the Phoenix area.

It looked great, tasted ok, and stayed with me for hours and hours and days and days............

Grandpa D wasn't too impressed with the bathroom instructions

We stopped along the road here to take a pic or two of the Guadalupe River

Picture 1

Picture 2

Picture 3 and the final one for today

Sherm led us on a ride today down to the little town of Bandera, TX. He was disappointed because the place he wanted to take us had closed down and was falling apart. However, I did take this picture while he was lamenting it's demise. 

I took a couple of pictures while he was trying to figure out where we would head next.

He almost has it figured out! Yeah

It has been a disappointing year so far for the wildflowers so we went out to the farm where they raise the seed and took these pictures.

These are a few of them.

We started our day by washing the bikes

Mine still looks new to me, but my eyes are failing fast. :)

4 Patrons, but they are closed. 3 of us would only have ordered water.

The parking lot at Harry's Bar is paved with bottle caps

The TK Ranch has the best stand of Blue Bonnets that I have seen yet. This has not been a good year for the wild flowers.

It has been a good year for drying out boots

They must have irrigated these

Finally some natural ones

I think these old guys were just taking pictures hoping to find some

This is the laziest cat I have ever seen. I watched as at least 6 different people reached down to pet it and take pictures of it. It never opened it eyes even once and some of the cameras were clicking away from only a few inches.

There are a lot of nice ranches out here on the very picturesque backroads. All of them have these fancy entrances.

A lot of goats are being raised out here.

This must be the mayor of Grapetowns house

Doesn't look like anyones home, but it is well maintained.

Grapetown school masters house

The little building behind the school masters house is the actual school. It was open from 1884 thru 1949

I can't remember ever seeing a cow guard fill in this much with a bush growing below it.

This sign has a little different date on it than the one on the school house.

A pretty good squall came through and inflated the cover on my bike like it was a balloon.

I figure this must be an artesian well
