Mike and Chris flew out today, heading back to Canada. Wally and Dianne, Bud and Deb, and Bill and I rode with them part of the way to the airport, then said our good-byes.
After breaking away from them the rest of the Crew stopped off at Mananita's in Pipe Creek for coffee, then headed back to the Alamo Springs Cafe in Fredericksburg for one more of their great lunches. I knew we would make it back there...the food was just too good to pass up!

Normally, the TX wildflowers would have been a beautiful blanket covering the area at this time of year, but due to the lack of rain over the previous three years not many had popped through. I saw a few Indian Blankets and Primroses in front of the Cafe, but no Bluebonnets, Bluebells or Indian Paintbrush. That was really sad, as I really wanted the girls to see how beautiful the landscape is when the flowers are in full bloom. When they're in their full glory it literally looks like someone has painted the landscape with a kaleidoscope of beautiful colors.

We spent a leisurely afternoon riding the backroads, then headed back to the RV Park. Once there, Bill and I moved into the RV with Bud and Deb, which was really great as Bud had installed a Queen size guest bed, (was certainly a great change after "bunking" in the cabin for the past few days).

Dianne and Wally dropped by to say their good-nights and possibly good-byes as they were leaving early the next morning heading for "Cajun Country" LA.
Thus ended the 5th day of riding in beautiful TX "Hill Country."
