Saturday's Texas Adventure: Part 1

My parents were busy this day, so o decide to take a chance on s trip into the Hill Country. I figured as long as I kept to myself, stayed in the car as much as possible, I could do a line road trip. It wouldn't be much different than when I'd roadtrip as a woman in the 90s.

I decided to go to my "secret place" in the Hill County, a spot I'd go to relax and think when I was troubled. It's a long ways away, but I figured I'd have time and decided to see sights that also were personal to me.

The first was what my sister called the Onion House, but I called the Huebner House. Both families owned it, but Joseph Huebner built it in the 1860s right at the crossing of both Bandera Roads at Leon Creek. He passed away in the 1880s, supposedly by supposedly drinking a canteen of kerosene and is buried I a very lovely part of the property. Given that the land was pretty vacant for 25 years, I'm surprised it wasn't vandalized. It's now taken care of.

I remember the house being decrepit and falling apart in the 80s, but that was a concerted effort to stabilize and restore it in the 2000s, something my sister was involved in. It's now a nature park.

I really want to go inside one day.
