Twisting Backwards

When we visited  the Texas Hill Country last February, we rode FM 335,336, and 337, otherwise known as the Twisted Sisters.  From our Medina Lake campground we took cr 16 to 337 at Medina, west to 335 north, used cr41 east to access 336 south.  This time we took 337 west as far as Leakey.

Here we ate lunch and

laughed again at the Leakey Eagles (of course the town calls itself Lakey).

This time we turned north on 336.

To reach 335, had to use cr41 which runs almost straight and flat across a ridge,

but offered a view of these pronghorns.

335 is the curviest and wiggliest of the Sisters and has the best views of water,

and limestone hills.

We will be going up that road as soon as we round the corner.

336 hooked us up with 337 again for the return trip east for home.

Although we passed this field this morning, these buffalo were absent then.

After about 170 miles and 6 hours on the road, we were glad to be headed home.

Two things that were different this trip.  1. This time we were treated to some fall colors, and 2. there was a lot less water in the rivers and the stream beds were all dry.

After 2 days of spending money and one day of fresh air and sunshine, I am ready to go back to getting ready for Christmas.   Duane can relax since we mailed out all the grandkids Christmas ornaments today.
