Wimberley, Texas


Joanne and Stu are staying just a few miles up the road from us at an rv resort on Canyon Lake so today we stopped for a visit. Joanne gave us a tour of Lake Pointe and then rode to New Braunfels with us while Stu worked on the new rig. We located the Chinese restaurant, Walgreens, and a bike shop where I began my quest for a new bicycle. We had a great visit and reminisced about old times at the Slabs. We dropped Joanne off as we came back down 306.


Wimberley was established on the Blanco River in the 1850s. It is a small town with about 3,500 people, which boasts of dozens of specialty shops in an oblong town square. There are many artists in town who have relocated to the Hill Country. We arrived just as the stores were closing - that might be a good thing so I only bought a new hand knitted scarf. We enjoyed the scenic drive on 32 across the ridge of the hills where you could really see the countryside.
