Texas Hill Country

Were camping 12 miles out in the hill country near the town of Bandera.  
The Cowboy Capital of the World.
It's a neat little town of 800 residents, very upbeat and busy, the Fickle Pickle is like a bread and butter then comes a hot a spicy finish, hard to describe but just good and it's made in Bandera.  

Camp Verde is now a General Store, Post Office and restaurant that closes at 3pm. 

Camp Verde was a United States Army facility established on July 8, 1856 in Kerr County, Texas along the road from San Antonio to El Paso.  The camp was the headquarters for U.S. Camel Corps, which experimented with using dromedaries as pack animals in the southwestern United States.

Camp Verde is beautiful with amazing gardens and a nearby stream.

Rails a Cafe At the Depot
Kerrville, TX
An old depot building serving meals on white linen table cloths, very upscale and tasty food. 

Just South of San Antonio we entered the hill country.

A typical view.

There are many large ranches in this area along with Exotic Game Ranches. 

Were camping in a gated community typical of this area, called Holiday Villages of Medina.

Water, electric and sewer, there is a hot tub and recreation room.

We've enjoyed this area of Texas and wanted to attend the rodeo in San Antonio, however we found out it starts at 7pm and runs until 12pm, were 90 minutes away.   Our fellow Texans warned us not to make the drive at night with the amount of deer, antelope, and wild boars that roam the roads at night, sounds like good advice.
