Leakey, Texas part two
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.
The old Real County Courthouse
constructed in 1918
Constructed
of limestone quarried near nere this building dates from 1918.
The
courthouse contained a jail with two small cells that was used until 1978. The
bars can still be seen on the windows.
I think this is an active court house
to this day but I do not know that for a fact.
Historic Marker commemorating
the Real County Courthouse dating from 1918
The Leakey Feed Lot is one of the great
eateries in the Hill
Country.
Bike riders exploring the Hill Country and especially those heading to the Three
Sisters or the Twisted Sisters ride north of Leakey
plan to stop in Leaky at either the Feed
Lot or the Pig Pen.
You need to plan on doing the same.
No matter what you are thinking this is a BBQ Restaurant and a good one. It is
definitely a favorite of the biker groups that roar through Leakey
every weekend and holiday.
Leakey is an area of natural
beauty. It has spectacular hill country views and is sometimes referred to as
"The Swiss Alps of Texas." Ranch Road 335, 336 and 337 also known as
"The Three Sisters," is famous around the world for the amazing rides.
Ranch Road 337 was also voted #1 road to ride by Ride Texas Magazine.
Blue
Hole swimming area at Riding River Ranch 9-miles north of Leakey,
Texas
Blue Hole is located on private property. I think you have to
be a guest at the ranch to enjoy Blue Hole. Here are some methods to contact the
property owners.
