Thank God It’s Spring Ride

This years Thank God It’s Spring ride is back to Leakey Texas,  The heart of the Hill Country.  Host lodging will be at the Frio Pecan Farm this year. I will be securing the same house as we have used in the past, and there are 4 rooms available with 2 queens and a private bath each.  There are 2 other houses just like it that others can get as well, or reserve some of the smaller cabins.   The house has plenty of space to socialize, a large kitchen and a fire pit so this will be our gathering place. They also have 2-bedroom cabins available as well. The reservation policy is different here as you need to be committed to your stay 60 days out. Frio Pecan Farm will give you credit that can be used up through the end of the season which is the end of May if you must change your plans. If you are interested in making reservations call, and Susan will be able to answer any of your questions. https://friopecanfarm.com at 830-232-5294.
