The River Rock Saloon



The River Rock Saloon is about 200 feet from our front door. At this time of the the year, it is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. We decided the sun had gone over the yardarm somewhere and walked over to the saloon for a beer. We met Jerry, who had helped convert this old building into a saloon. He had worked around the Guadalupe RV campgrounds for some time. Many of the recent upgrades have been his handy work. We were then joined by Byron, a retired farmer from the Dakotas, and then by Susie, a retired rancher. We talked and talked about our farming adventures. Jerry had been a rancher in West Texas for some years too. What a nice setting in which to meet some of the many people that either live or work here.

To add to the evening, in came Justin, who has worked on HW2's hair for several years here in Kerrville. It felt like old home week. She does have an appointment for next week with Justin. We will see what he does, next since he is responsible for her hair being longer at this point.

Tonight is our annual Halloween party, at the River Rock Saloon, of course. We are going as Winter Texans, cowboy hats and all. We hunted all over town for eye masks and finally found some after trying many places. Happy travels.
