Thinking about your post, makes me want to return to Kerrville and kayak the Guadalupe a little...I lived there for 3 yrs and it is fun...Slip over to Fredricksburg for the German Fest, tour the 17 wineries in the area, go over to the Purple Cow in Bandera for a little country dancing...good fun in the Hill Country, even if brisket is not your thing...Have some good wurst up there too..maybe that is more to your liking..or go over to the YO for social nite and eat some Axis poppers...grilled loin of axis wrapped in bacon and stuffed with jalapeno and jack cheese...good stuff..

I still drive up to Stonewall and get my peaches for preserves...LOL
