Wonderful wonderful

When our Democratic groups take a bus down to Austin for a march, or lobby day or whatever, we always stop there.

good German food

If you like caves. Longhorn Caverns State Park is not far away*. Very nice to visit with good tours. Longhorn is a state park

If you go into the Austin area and the weather is hot, visit Hamilton Pool, and if you do go early. Visitors are limited.

The Lyndon B Johnson State Historic Site is in Johnson City and is not that big of a drive.

*Please be advised that "not far away" has a whole 'nuther meaning in Texas.

Thx for the travel brochure! 💙 😁

You don't need that period after the exclamation point. They teach us that in Texas schools.

My plan B, an escape. Runnin' away from home, just for a spell.

An acquaintance has a Winnebago, but it needs towing. Which is too much involved. So a motorhome fits the bill.
