Stanley Visits Texas Hill Country

San Antonio is at the southern edge of a popular area in Texas and the U.S. known as the Texas Hill Country. The Hill Country has lots of scenic landscape including rugged hills, limestone ridges and caverns, and winding rivers like the Blanco, Medina and Guadalupe rivers. This is a popular outdoor area for Texans and tourists alike for hiking, camping, and floating the river.

Here's a map of where Texas Hill Country is, and an example of what it looks like:

Stanley decided to take a drive through a part of the Hill Country known as the Devil's Backbone. This is section straight north of San Antonio, with a pretty loop to drive between the towns of Blanco and Wimberly. It is a very historic area, with spots to stop and read about Texas and even some ghost stories!

Along the way Stanley stopped off at the Fischer Store. Fischer is a very small town originally settled in the 1850's as a trading post for settlers in the area. It's a popular spot to stretch your legs along this drive.
