Riding the Sisters

Guadalupe River Road - beautiful sandstone canyon walls

March 10 & 14/17  Weather high 70's, nights 50's.  The mornings have been starting out with clouds and breaking into sun.   Most of the riders are leaving around 10:30 which makes it a couple hours ride to lunch and a few hours back.  We are getting some miles on those tires!

Came in the empty parking lot and it was full when we left

Named the best motorcycle ride in Texas is "The Twisted Sisters".  We rode The Twisted Sisters on 2  different days.  Up and down and back and forth; elevation is not over 2000 feet.  The sweeping hills are so great for riding, not that challenging we find (we have been on so many motorcycle rides now!!!) but we can really enjoy and take in the views.   Hwys 337, 336, 335.  A couple hundred miles will make the loop from the RV Park.

Hwy 335 - the farthest "sister"

In the little towns of Leakey and Camp Wood you will find hole in the wall places offering burgers and beer.  One of the fellows we ride with says "we ride to eat".  Ha ha, that's right. 

This stretch was a roller coaster

Camp Wood has some military history.  Once a camp for the Civil War, it was at first held by the Union Soldiers then quickly taken over by the Confederates.  After the Civil War the Texas Rangers used it to protect the settlers coming West from Indian Attacks.  The town has seen better days, it's population is 706.  Many of the buildings seem to be a ghost of the past.

This building on the main street of  Camp Wood appears to be an apartment building???
