Hey all you Texas (Longhorn) Podders. My wife and I want to drag our Pod to Texas to see the Bluebonnets, and we are looking for closely guarded secrets, about best places to view, time, campgrounds and general hospitality. We'll trade info about our neck of the woods if you like  ------------- Anita & Dan RP177/ TV 08 GMC P/U |

Hospitality? LOL...this is TEXAS! It doesn't get any friendlier.  Park Road 4 off of Hwy 281 to Inks Lake State Park (breath taking), however, the Bluebonnets are dependent on Mother Nature. Good luck! Maybe you can make it out our way for the 1st Annual BIG TEXAS RPOD RALLY! Oh wow, Sebastian FL, looks nice!

I agree with Podster, rain is the key for a good showing. Pray for rain from now until early spring for those Bluebonnets to get established! We had some great photo opportunities on Hwy 90 and IH10 toward Houston this past Spring. Here are the links to a couple of my Flickr albums. (still can't figure out that URL thing) You will need to copy and paste the link into a new browser window. https://www.flickr.com/photos/119235407@N08/sets/72157643801245983/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/119235407@N08/sets/72157643233202414/ ------------- Melissa (and Buck) 2015 RP 178 aka Podimus Minimus 3/4 Ton Suburban TV |

Thanks Podster!
D2 - I would also recommend Willow City Loop. You can google that for a specific location and how to get there. It's in the Texas Hillcountry. And while you're out there you should visit Lukenbach just to take a pic to say you were there ;) ------------- Melissa (and Buck) 2015 RP 178 aka Podimus Minimus 3/4 Ton Suburban TV |

Well, it looks like you might have a good chance...there has been a steady drizzle across the region for the last 3 days that is expected to break tomorrow around noon. If we get a couple more of those before spring, it will be a very good blue bonnet year!  ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

D2, welcome! As MissyBuck mentioned, the Willow Loop is a beautiful spot for sneaking up on Bluebonnets and, if you time it right (during the week!), you have a better chance of avoiding the masses. Knowing you're interested in connecting with Texas Longorn-types of Podders, you may want to acquire a suitable decal along the lines of the following. Then, hang out in Austin. You're sure to make new acquaintances!  ------------- John & Teri Tundra 5.7L V8 / RP 180 E2 WDH / Integrated controller (POS) replaced by Tekonsha P3 |
