Hey Y'all, On your way back down to Sandpipers stop off in Wimberly. Easy to find from either Austin or San Antonio, in the lovely hill country Texas is so proud of.
Our first night heading north we saw a fabulous outdoor theater production there at The Emily Ann Theater.
Go early and stroll the grounds, there are music gardens, a memorial, a wonderful overlook, and a place for snacks.
No matter what is on, this is a good place for a stop-over. Wimberly is an artists town and has many neat shops and galleries too.
But the reason I am so excited is the show Bob and I saw on our way north. "The Gospel According to Texas". No matter your faith or lack of it, this is a super show! Singin', dancin', story-tellin', special effects, hilarious Texas jokes, good band music and a pleasant setting to see it all. Even the costuming was very good (and I get a bit picky about that).
Oh, we had so much fun! As we left there we were saying how we wanted to share it with all the other Sandpiper neighbors and hope you get to see it too.
Check out the website: http://www.emilyann.org/ for dates and times and shows.
See you this fall/winter

I second the motion to go to Wimberly.
I have camped around there and the view just north of there is fantastic. There is a stretch of highway call the the "Devil's Backbone" that has a spectacular view.
Wimberly is also the home of some of the "States's best BBQ." That quote came from the Food Channel's Tasty Travels. Personally my BBQ is the best.
The closest Nudest Park would be Star Ranch.
I really like the place and would like to go back and explore the town some more.
Bob and Marty have given me another reason to go back. Thanks.
