Hill Country

Les's sister, Deborah, and her husband, Jeff, met us in Kerrville for a long weekend of riding in the Hill Country southwest of Austin. They've had a drought, so it wasn't as green as normal, but we had a great time. Their daughter, Shana and her husband, Stephen, brought their motorcyle and came over from the San Antonio area for the day. Unfortunately, the day they came it was too windy and cold to ride. We had a good time anyway, playing pool, catch-phrase, and having dinner.

This is Deborah riding her very own Dyna Low Rider! I am so impressed!

Les and Jeff got out the RC trucks to play with.

They have a very cool 2 year old Boxer, named Hot Rod. Isn't she a beauty. She weighs almost as much as Deborah.

Shana is trying to keep Hot Rod from chasing the RC trucks!

Our first Armadillo sighting! Stephen knows how to pick them up without being mauled by their very sharp claws.

Jeff's ride is a very cool custom Big Dog - Mastiff.

The Hill Country is a popular riding area and this was a fun spot to stop for a chili dog and a cool beverage.

Canyon Lake (this is cool... my new camera has a program that will 'stitch' multiple photos together to make a panorama shot.)

The town of Gruene has the oldest continuously operating dance hall in Texas. I found it a bit strange that nobody in this area pronounces the names for towns and such the way they look. Gruene is green, Boerne is bernie, Leakey is Lay-key and Bexar is Bear. Go figure.
