Day 4
Remember the Alamo, the Twisted Sisters - deep in the heart of Texas
Today started as a work day - hooray for telecommuting!
the weather was a gorgeous sunny 65 degrees - i made it south of winter storm Q...
I made my way to the Alamo at lunch time - it is a shrine to the heros of Texan independence - you don't mess with the Texans when it comes to the Alamo. No photos allowed inside the sanctuary, nor any hats. I got some photos of the outsides though...
From there, I left San Antonio and made my way to the hill country about an hour west. This is the famous Twisted Sisters...
i know some of you may not believe - but this set of roads rivals the Dragon... the scenery is great - although all rocky scrub and hills instead of Smokey Mountain forest, but awesome none the less. I got a ton of good video.
There were also some very remote - very long - very straight roads.. i set a land speed record i think.
since there is no civilization (literally) for a few more hours to the west - i decided to stop a little early in a place called Junction TX. nothing to do here - but they have a gas station, and a Best Western - so good to go.
