I remember the Hill Country with fondness. New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, Austin… Transplants from San Francisco in the early 70s, transferred to the Gulf Coast, it brought us back to the topography we missed. We lived in Bay City, fewer than 10 miles from THE Gulf (“Bay City isn’t the end of the world but you can see it from here!”)- they don’t build Nuclear Power Plants in the touristy parts.
Just those town names brought back warm memories. 👏👏
.. no flies on Dee.. ever eh ! You got enuff on yer plate for now !?! Talk about ‘endeavours.. and the busy man !
Somewhere along the way will drop a coupla ‘true tales - one re Live Music & Line Dancing not far from Austin, another re this Canadian punk’s first molten experience with jalopena, another re adventures riding my enduro on private land down thataway .. Am quite intrigued .. will update Anne as Music is her Business.. and surely she had Gord Lightfoot booked down thataway on one of his southern US tours.. and as many Canadians know - the late Ian Tyson IS .. ‘the cowboy poet’ and one hell of a cowboy too !
This... is going to be awesome! Actually... it already is 😉
Looking forward to seeing where you take this, Dee!
