2023-10-27 Tour of Bastrop Texas

 Bastrop is a nice smaller town about 75 miles east north east from San Antonio. There are interesting things to see, a great state park near town, and the usual amenities like hotels, restaurants, Walmart, and HEB.

There is an interesting Main Street to explore.

There is a beautiful park along the river behind Mains Street.

And another interesting area of small shops and restaurants between Main Street and the river.

Some shops were decorated for Halloween.

One of the interesting things we did during our rally was a scavenger hunt to find old buildings and houses which was a great way to see much more of the town. This is the Old Jail. See the bars?

An old gas station serving as a bank.

The Colorado River in Fisherman's Park.

There are some really beautiful homes old homes in the town.

They even have an Opera House.

There is even a foundry producing beautiful metal sculpture with several on display.

We also found an area with a lot of Halloween spirit displayed. The horse and people skeleton were almost a little too realistic looking with dessicated flesh.

Those are skulls not stones around the flower beds. Ooh! Happy Halloween.

The idea of a scavenger tour was a great one. You just never know what you will find. Every town has things to see if you just take the time to look.
