I had hopes of finding some nice fall colors to share from today's ride. Sadly, the long hot and dry summer has left us with very little in the way bright colors this year. These shots were taken around Lake Meredith in the Texas Panhandle. At least it was picture perfect day with a high of 68° and nearly dead calm with some pretty clouds forming nice backgrounds in a few shots.

My lovely bride and I rode down to Lost Maples State Natural Area http://https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/lost-maples last November which is near near Vanderpool on our way to Twisted Horns Ridge near Tarpley & Hondo. http://https://twistedhornsridge.com/texas-hill-country-cottage-romantic-luxury-retreat/ Twisted Ridge was a really cool place. We stayed in the Hill Country Cottage. It was really, really nice, a fully equipped house as opposed to a tiny house. Even a 36" Blackstone Griddle & a blowup hot tub for those chilly nights. The foliage at Lost Maples was absolutely gorgeous!! And the stargazing at Lost Maples is reputed to be stunning. We unfortunately did not do any stargazing but plan to try next year. Can't go this year as I am undergoing Chemotherapy on Mondays & Radiation Mon-Fri. Kinda puts a damper on touring. And a pretty long ride for you guys.
