Last April on our way back to Nebraska, we stopped at Dripping Springs TX, to check out the area. We found a very nice newer campground, just west of town, Cottonwood Creek RV Campground. It had a nice walking path in the back, where we could walk the dogs.
The buildings are in the town of Dripping Springs, it has that old western town feel to it. There was a geocache behind the bigger building, that we found. Hey! The town had a Chili cook off while we were there, so we had to go and taste some Texas Chili. The first taste test had no beans in the chili, and when Vel asked about the no beans, the guy gave her a strange look and said "you must be a Yankee" and chuckled. Well, little did we know "Texas Chili" doesn't have beans in it! We tested about 5 more, and sure enough no beans. Personally I like beans in my chili, otherwise it reminds me of a Sloppy Joe, without the bun. Guess I can never be a true Texan.
We did a little geocaching while we were there, I've never had to climb a tree before to find one. This one you could see from the road, hanging in the tree, but you had to look close.
We also found a winery, south of town, Driftwood Vineyards. Very pretty area as you can see. This is all in the Hill Country of Texas. Not too far from the winery is Wimberley, it is a small town with alot of nice little shops downtown. So, of course I had to check them out.
It's suppose to be a nice sunny day today, so we'll have to get outside to get our Vitamin D! M
