This was supposed to be a 3-night weekend trip, but it got shortened by a day because I left early due to bad weather reports for Monday. We didn't get quite the rain, but boy, did the wind blow! I love Bandera and I always hate to leave, but especially when it's a gorgeous day and my plan was to be there longer. This was not a big event weekend like Mardi Gras and I like it when it's calm and not as crowded. I almost feel like a "regular" here.
π Highlights of this trip:
- π Camping with Pepper
- πΆπ»♀️ Walking along the river and through City Park
- π» Hanging out with good friends
- πΆ Arkey Blue's Silver Dollar - one of my most favorite hangouts ❤
- π½ OST Steakhouse - always good grub
- π©³ Got warm enough to wear shorts!
- π€ Texas Flag Retirement ceremony and gunfight, Cowboys on Main
- ⛪ Ridin' the River Cowboy Church
- Quick stop by Cartoon Saloon - quite a few visitors there at the time
- π 414.8 miles round trip - 9.1 mph $3.84 per gal (OUCH!)
