I was talking with Erwin Zel about the Gillespie County schools on another post, and it got me remembering the last few times I was in Texas.
In 2018, I started planning my yearly "trip to Texas on my two month layoff." Seeing how the wind was blowing politically down there, I made it a mission to see everything and everywhere that meant something to me while I was there. EVERYTHING.
I put 9000 miles on my car during the 2018 trip (including going there and back from Seattle). And on every trip, I tracked myself with GPS.
There were still some things I didn't see, and when I went back in 2019, this time using my parents car, I made a list of everything else I wanted to see, and did that as well. I haven't been back since.
Given how the trans situation is down there, I don't know that I can go back.
@RobotLeBlanc - Never went! I saw it from 281 all the time, but never went in.
@dolari You ever hit up Hill Country Kitchen in Johnson City? I miss that place. Best chicken fried steak I ever had. Good fried okra too. And yea, with the situation down there I don't know if I'll ever be back, which makes me pretty sad.
