a kind of scavenger hunt...

...for the painted churches around Schulenburg, "Halfway to Everywhere!", population 2,699. I was the only soul on the trail, so I guess I WIN!

I visited four in all - a lovely lost afternoon in the rolling hills settled 100+ years ago by Czech-Moravian families. And let's not forget the Stanzel brothers, who revolutionized the model aircraft industry. Sadly, the nearby museum was closed today.

Some other scenes from the road....


the Lockhart Courthouse


Engle, TX



and the cotton pickin' town of Luling
