•  FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND

  Well, we went up to Hill Country for the 4th of July.  We left Thurs evening and it's a five to six hour drive.  On Friday we went to Luckenbach and Fredericksburg and hung out at the deer lease.  On Saturday we tubed down the Comal River.  Sunday, of course, we made out way back, plus an extra hour or so driving due to unknown traffic problems on the way.

  

  (above)  This is the cabin on the deer lease.  If I remember correctly, the deer lease encompasses over 800 acres.  But we generally only stay on the section above as none of us hunt.

  (below)  Various shots of the deer lease and its surroundings.

  

  

  

  

  (below) I love the panoramic feature on my digital phone.

  Luckenbach...The guy below kind of startled us.  I never saw a dude riding a longhorn before.

  I finally found my drinking hat.  And it did a great job keeping the sun off my face and neck during the whole trip also.

  

  

  (below)  We did some shooting on Friday.  The scope was so low-slung that it was actually more difficult to shoot.  I also got stung by a wasp shortly after this photograph.

  

  (below) Group shot of the whole gang who went to the lease.  Kinda sorta from left to right: Kim (w/ Pixel the dog), Ryan, Trevor, Will (w/ Buffy the dog), Christie (w/ Harley the dog), me, Payton, Bryan, Cole, Daxton, and Mikey.

  I didn't get any photos on the river.  Obviously I couldn't bring my camera with me.  Mikey had some waterproof disposable cameras.  Hopefully there will be some good pics from them soon.
