Pride of the Texas Hill Country: Guadalupe River

Passmoore, Works Of Alexander & I.V.

Never did I expect to see so paradisical a sight in Texas Hill Country. Just North of San Antonio, I camped at Guadalupe River State Park. The clear river, lined by stately cypress trees, and guarded by fascinating stratigraphy, was enchanting. If only I had known there were Aligators nearby... Apparently, just after I left, one of the beasts stopped traffic for hours on a nearby freeway, resolved not to budge even though he was in the middle of the road. News accounts said he even took a bite out of a police car's bumper.
