FRIDAY (MORE RIDING!)



It was another great day with a high of 21C. We went into Kerrville to grab a few groceries and as we were unloading the food at the coach our Canadian neighbours from Stouffville Ontario, just two sites down from us asked if we wanted to join them for a ride. Of course we said sure so off we went. They have been in the Hill Area a few times so knew some different roads from the ones we have taken. It was great, we were on single lane roads which actually went through the ranches and pass their cattle and buildings. We stopped for a late lunch in at a pizza/winery place which was in the middle of nowhere. The pizza was made was all handmade and cooked in an opened hearth heated by oak wood. The pizza was fantastic!    

Pretty rocky in areas

Little cubicles for two to eat in.

We then headed back to the campground, of course taking the long way on some more great roads. We stopped at the famous Bandera Bar called “The Eleventh Street Cowboy Bar”. The storey goes the women who visit the bar are to leave something, so you can’t help but notice all the bras hanging from the ceiling. On Wednesdays for dinner you are to bring your own meat (any type) and you cook it on their bbq’s and they supply the cooking utensils, cutlery, and sides for $6.00. It has a large dance floor and a stage for the live bands. It is very popular. We know it was packed during Mardi Gras and had a $15.00 cover charge.
