Hello everyone. Took a few days to ride around the Fredericksburg and Llano area. The ride was mostly through ranch roads and county roads mostly dirt and gravel but it was nice to see the wildlife and some of the exotic animals on the ranches. Along the route we detoured to Coopers BBQ while in Llano. Great place to eat family style at one long table.
We had several small water crossings before we arrived at the James River, That crossing was about 300 to 400 feet across and 12 to 18 in depth. We setup camp at Buchanan Dam on Saturday night. Low temperature for the evening was around 30 degrees.
Sunday the group rode out to Colorado Bend State Park. We left our four wheel drives behind in favor of the 2 feet. After a 2 to 2.5 mile hike we ended up on the Colorado River. The water was cold and slow moving but the views were great. This is defiantly a return location to swim in the Texas summer. Texas is a great place to visit and a lot of history to be seen.
The Alamo was a side trip for Will and I. We encourage our kids to see as much of our country and our historical sites as possible. A book just can't capture what they have seen. So i'll post a couple pictures we have below. The picture on the left is the pit they serve you from at Coopers. The picture on the right is the water crossing at the James River and the bottom is the sunrise at Buchanan Lake.
Thanks for checking out our post.
