If you aren’t a local then you would say Pedernales correctly. “Ped-er-nah-less” But the locals say it “Perd-nah-less”.

A few weeks ago I was invited to an event where we got to step back in time at the Buggy Barn Museum in Blanco, Texas, just a short 30 minute drive southwest from Dripping Springs. It’s located right off the road on HWY 281 north of Blanco, Texas. I’ve never even noticed it before,...
If you’ve ever driven through Fredericksburg, Texas in the Spring or Fall then you’ve probably seen Wildseed Farms on the north side of 290.

If you are visiting the Texas Hill Country or planning to move here then there are so many Texas State Parks within an hour radius to visit! Enchanted Rock has been on my list for the last two years, but it was always booked out when we checked into reserving it. It looked like we...
It’s no secret that Dripping Springs is known for its’ craft alcohol, wedding venues, small town feel and beautiful NATURE!!
