For today’s “Spooky Place in Texas,” we’re travelling to historic Llano in honor of Llano Heritage Weekend today through Sunday.

A big thanks to David Griffith, an organizer of Saturday’s chuck-wagon cook-off in Llano, for visiting with us this morning!

Scott and settler Adolf Hoppe plus several Reconstruction-era government officials. […]

For today’s “Spooky Place in Texas,” we are taking a trip to a spot whose name alone is spooky: The Devil’s Backbone. The Backbone is a scenic, 20-mile long ridge that conforms to the route of Ranch Road 32, running east-west between Wimberly and Blanco. The limestone bluff is surrounded by canyons and valleys. That, […]
