No visit to the Texas Hill Country would be complete without a visit to Luckenbach. Made famous by a country song in the late seventies by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, the small hamlet of Luckenbach has an almost magical air surrounding it.

We visited this meca of Texas country music last year during an event they called a hug-fest and was instantly taken in by it's charm and hospitality. When we got back to Texas this year, we wanted to make sure to visit again and our small motorcycle group packed up for the day and headed that direction.

One of the great things about touring around central Texas is you never really know what you are going to encounter around the next curve in the road. Our adventures normally consist of taking a GPS with us so we can find our way back, pointing in a direction and seeing what we can find along the way. At other times, you get lucky and find some like-minded Rvers who are motorcyclists and enjoy the freedom of the open road and the thrill of seeing something new.

A visitor to Bandera TX would almost think they have entered a time warp. The town of Bandera calls itself the cowboy capital of the world and when wandering around the area, you sure pickup the western flavor of the community.

Bandera is a fairly large town and has both a historical section to it as well as a more modern section, making the area a great place to stay awhile and see everything the community has to offer.

Riding along route 16 south of Kerrville TX, you run into the small town of Medina. (Pronounced by the locals as Medeena). My wife and I come from a small rural community in Northcentral Ohio, so we always take the opportunity to stop by small towns and explore the area when possible. This town is what we would call a one horse town in the north as it looks to be maybe a community of 1000 people with the usual small repair shops and a few store fronts on the main street. Something most people pass through and never give it much thought.
