Riding the 3 Sisters - The Nueces River

Riding the 3 Sisters, originally uploaded by ~ride*on*film~.

It begins in Leakey, Texas. Some natives pronounce this town ‘Lakey’ but I think that may be an ‘accent’ issue. ‘It’ is the 3 Sisters, a winding route spanning 3 different roads, north, south and then north again. The scenery is classic ‘old west’. Desert. Cactus. Beautiful, rolling hills and, of course, plenty of that big, ole Texas sky. This is the Nueces River that wound along beside us through a good part of the ride. From Leakey, we headed north on 336, the first ’sister’. We headed west on 41 looking for sister number 2, hwy 335. This sister led us south to 337, sister number 3. At Camp Wood, we headed north again on 55 to Rocksprings, the end of one very memorable stretch of road…and also the place where we realized we had lost a map and had no idea where to go from there.
