Blanco, TexasBlanco and Sisterdale, TexasApril 16, 2007. Our motorhome at Lady Bird Johnson City Park 3-miles south of Fredericksburg on SR-16; $20 FHU including cable with paved sites. We tend to like Lady Bird Johnson City Park when we are in Fredericksburg because the RV-sites are situated under the canopy of mature pecan trees but there are several more that are good as well. The Fredericksburg RV-Park on Highway street is another good park but it cost more and doesn't have mature trees that provide shade. We visited Blanco on Monday. We stayed in Blanco State Park 5 or 6 years ago but have not stopped there since.

Byars' Live Oak....... Champion Tree (Largest in Blanco County)
This large live oak tree is preserved in a city park located behind City Hall. There is a nice walk in the park that takes you to the Blanco River. Much of the mass of this tree is actually hidden in this picture because a large part of this tree grows up the hill on the other side. The best view would have been from one of the sides to get a real idea of the circumference of this oak. Sometimes there is just not an easy way to get the best picture.

Unique goat spotted near Sisterdale, Texas
I wonder what kind of goat this is. It was a good looking animal and in the field by itself. It kind of looked like a show animal.
