hill country texas hills

Growing up in East Texas, I always said you never know what goes on behind all those trees....but out in this part of Texas south and west of Austin, I've learned you never know what great things are around those hill country Texas hills. There are many miles to explore with stops for cold drinks, down home food and honky tonk music. On many days, you can still feel the spirits from Enchanted Rock all through the area as you float down the rivers and soak up the warm sunshine.



Make sure to stop in at Arkey's Silver Dollar to learn more about the love affair with the region. On winter afternoons, you can sit in front of the rock fireplace and dally in leaving town. During the summer, stay as long as you can dancing on the sawdust covered floor knowing you only have to sit in a tube taking in the minerals from the Medina River the next day. Black-eyed peas here at New Year's Eve are the best way to start off an incredible year.



As I travel through the Hill Country and, when I'm lucky, the wide open West Texas highways, I'll share the great places and wonderful people along the way.
