Bandera Texas- Cowboy Capital of the World!!

Here I am in Downtown Bandera Texas, the Cowboy Capital of the World according to those born and raised, and also the Chamber of Commerce. Bandera is home to several Dude Ranches, where you can play cowboy for real, not just in a bar on a mechanical horse. A lot of us are very proud of the down home western image that the town projects. Every visitor feels at home, relaxed is the order of the day, and you can pose for a picture on the back of a longhorn steer. Besides the dude ranches, Bandera has it's share of honky tonks and some realy fine dancehalls, where many of my clients and contemporaries met and fell in love.

The views are spectacular from any mountaintop (1900 ft. high)- hills to those in the rocky mountains. The rolling, rocky land is home to roadrunners and armadilloes- but is it beautiful!! The creeks and rivers can be slow and winding- swift and dangerous after 10-20 inches of rain which I have seen more than once.

For the relaxed and casual minded, we are waiting for you- Glad to make your aquaintance!!
