It’s said that at when Robert Frost lived in San Antonio in the mid-1930s, the poet enjoyed trekking the Texas Hill Country. The question of which backroads in this area to explore likely presented him with dilemmas as intriguing as those encountered in his famous poem.  For wherever one may wander in the Hill Country, adventure, discovery, and earthly splendor lie in wait.

Comfort Zone

Since moving to the Sisterdale area in the Hill Country, I often drive over to Comfort, a town known for its rich history, restored historic district, and antique shops.
