Day 27: Texas

Left New Mexico for Texas; yippee ki yay!
After a few hours, got tired of Interstate 10 and hit the country roads.  Explored the Texas Hill Country:
Made a nice change from all the desert I've driven through.  Tried to find the Devil's Sinkhole but he had hidden it too well!  So, found Lost Maple State Park (these maples are relics of the last glacial period and thus "lost") instead.  Saw my first glimpse of fall color as I hiked the East Trail:
Then drove into Bandera, known as the Cowboy Capital of the World because of all the cattle drives that have come through here throughout the years.  Had a respectable barbecue dinner in Busbee's BBQ.
Then arrived in San Antonio, after driving almost 500 miles.  Will explore all that this small Texan city has to offer tomorrow (and take a break from driving) and then head to Austin on Friday.
