From the Hyatt Hill Country Resort I took a street route to Bandera Road. This road winds its way up into the Texas Hill Country and ends at the town of Bandera. Most of the morning is at the dew point. There is a mist in the air and an occasional slight rain. As I ride towards Bandera I see a cross off to my right. This was the first of two that I spied during the ride. I have heard there are religious retreats in the area, so I am guessing that this is one of the locations for such.



Bandera styles itself as the "Cowboy Capital of the World". It indeed may be. There are plenty of cowboy looking themes in Bandera as I enter ranch country. Rodeo people also train in the ranches around here.



Nice veterans' monumnet in front of the old courthouse. I am tempted to loiter in Bandera, but I need to get to Medina to meet the sisters, so I bypass the opportunity. I gas up and move along heading towards Medina.
