One of our Favourite Places

Mar 6/17  Weather 70's with intermittent sun, humid (80%), nights at 60.  Not much of a drop in temps at night due to the clouds.  Our bodies are not used to the humidity, being in the desert all winter long.  We noticed it right away.
Hill Country Texas
Hill Country Texas has a great RV park called Buckhorn Lake RV Resort.  We have been here before and love this area for motorcycle riding.  There are so many little ranch roads that meander along creeks and streams and hills.  What is amazing is that the roads are paved.  Many people we meet ask us "Where is Hill Country?"  It is like a hidden gem.

The second day in we met out front at the Windmill for a motorcycle ride.  Groups go out everyday around 10:30 am.  So friendly. We rode for a couple hours zigzagging in the ranches.   Our GPS did not show any of these rancher roads !!!  So fun.  Jimmy (who is 83 years old) led the ride over to Alamo Springs Cafe which is located next to the Old Tunnel State Park.

 The abandoned railroad tunnel that gives Old Tunnel its name is home to up to 3 million Mexican free-tailed bats.  Not a big fan of bats so we did not enter the tunnel or go near it, guess they come swooping out at night.  Still we know they are in there!!!
The Cafe is definitely a bikers destination as the parking lot was full of motorcycles.  This is what brings us back to Hill Country, the great motorcycle roads.
