So, remember how it was raining off and on all over the place? Yes, that's my car.  For the record, this all happened about 2 weeks before this writing.  A rain burst hit while I was on the road and visibility dropped to a hundred yards.  I started slowing down and I spun out.  I … Continue reading Not Coleman County… →

So the rain kept coming down off and on as I came into town.  As I came into town, routing led me to a jail, not to the courthouse.  I stopped at a convenience store to get directions that were about two shades away from "go up the road a spell and turn where the … Continue reading 28.

It may be hard to tell, but there's a bit of a Native American theme to be found here... But these are not my favorite parts of this trip.  Want to hear a story? You see this tree and rock?  The ones right on the courthouse square?  Well, check this out...  So apparently the town's … Continue reading 27. Comanche, Comanche County →

Such an impressive courthouse for such a tiny town...  As I did my traditional walkaround (and bathroom stop, but that's a different issue all together, I was a little surprised that the building was even open.  It was a national holiday after all, but not exactly one of the big ones.  It also started raining … Continue reading 26.

So I took an early morning jaunt out of town to hit a bunch of counties.  I had some time off and decided to make a day of it, especially since a government holiday means no muggles around courthouses.  The first stop of the (early, EARLY) morning was Gatesville.  I hit here just after sunrise … Continue reading 25.

When I was in Gonzales, I intended to grab a Traditional and ended up grabbing a vVirtual.  When I got to Seguin I was going to grab a Virtual and ended up pulling up to the courthouse square next to a Traditional.  It was a small in a tree on the square, but at least … Continue reading 24.

Gonzales is special for several reasons, but I'll talk about that as we go on.  I didn't see any sign of Confederate anything around here.  In this town, there's only room for one revolt... The Texas Revolution is the only insurrection that gets any press, time, or monuments here.  In fact, one of the most … Continue reading 23. Gonzales, Gonzales County →

I only had half the day because of I had stuff to do with the kids in the afternoon so I took the morning to do a few counties.  There was one direction I hadn't been in so I went to do it.  That's how I ended up in Lockhart.  Maybe you recognize it or … Continue reading 22.

So this is one I haven't run across yet.  The courthouse was rebuilt across the street from the original courthouse.  So, oddly enough, we're getting a two-fer on this one... I also noted that there was only one memorial around the entire complex.  To me expected for really new courthouses, I think. The cache was … Continue reading 21. Boerne, Kendall County →

Another nice little town with a bit of a funky vibe on the square.  Not the place I would come to party or anything, but just fine for passing through.   I can't think of anything particularly special about Kerrville.  There do seem to be a lot of caches for a town of its size, though, … Continue reading 20.
