Exciting day of riding as we made it the start of Texas Hill Country. Leaving at 8:30, we made our way east in a moderate headwind to Uvalde. Lunch at Ophelia’s before visiting the very touching and sad Memorial to the Evalde massacre in 2022. From Uvalde, we headed north, gaining a tailwind with the change in direction. Hooray! Border Patrol checkpoint at mile 31 (rolled through without stopping). Our destination is Crider’s Frio River Resort in Leakey. Sharing a cabin with Tim, John, and Dan.

Our destination for the next 2 nights.
The Frio River, my first chance to fish this trip. Water was cool, not cold. Able to catch a few sunfish on dry flies before & after dinner. (#18 parachute Adam’s)
Another view of the Frio.
Pretty wildflowers by the river
A Frio River pumpkinseed, not a trout, but willing to take a dry fly.
