Rio Frio Champion Escarpment live oak

April 20, 2007.

We are staying in Kerrville at Kerrville Schreiner City Park that was formerly Kerrville Schreiner State Park. $15 per-night for FHU plus a $5 per-day entrance fee (but you can purchase an annual pass for $25 which we did). Kerrville Schreiner Park is located within the city limits on the Guadalupe River and has everything one could want in the way of Hill Country Ambiance. With that said there are probably 12-RV-Parks in Kerrville that are very nice plus they have good location as well. Many of these private parks are located on the Guadalupe River as well.

Champion escarpment Live Oak in Rio Frio, Texas

Rio Frio, is a small community 6-miles south of Leakey on the Frio River. We stopped to admire this champion escarpment live oak. It is the champion escarpment live oak in Texas ---- possibly anywhere, but I do not know that.

The big oak at Goose Island is the Champion Texas Live Oak and is a bit larger than this one making this oak the 2nd largest live oak in Texas.

This is another picture of that champion escarpment live oak from a different angle. It was on private property and only visible from the road.

This is about as good a picture as Joyce could get from the highway.

If you are concerned that you do not know the "exact" location for the Rio Frio Oak..... fear not. If you drive through Rio Frio on Ranch Road 2748 or Ranch Road 1120 you will see this oak. It will be as easy to spot as a water tower in the desert if you get my drift, and I think you do. VBG
