Central Texas Crossfire road trip

John P. talked us into joining the Central Texas Crossfire club and then into attending one of their monthly road trips. This trip started in San Antonio and then went north to San Marcos. Four of us met up in San Antonio. We had gone there on Saturday to see Kristy, Tim, and 5 kids who are on their way back to Omaha from South Texas. We bid them all good-bye this morning and met up with our first group. We had met John P. and Skip from Kerrville and now got to know Bill. We four then met up with other members of the club in San Marcos. Now, San Marcos is known for its shopping and HW2 was a good sport about not stopping.

We then drove through the central Texas Hill Country highlands and traveled such famous roads as the Devil's Back Bone and other roads that went up hill and down dale and around many curves. The whole idea was to drive as fast as reasonably possible and keep the club together. Altogether we had eleven cars as Fred and Mollie joined us at lunch time. They hail from Hunt which is not too far north of Kerrville. We had several convertibles and more hardtop cars. What fun! I had not ever done this and enjoyed the whole thing. It was nice to meet people from as far away as Houston and Austin, as well as in more central locations. We had about 20 people sit together for lunch in Blanco, a town that was holding a Lavender Festival. We had the added attraction of visiting the festival. HW2 found some earrings and was quite happy.

Home in time to rescue Max from doggy camp and try to get the AC unit functioning AGAIN. A wonderful weekend. Happy travels.
