There now? OK! LET"S GO!
Luckenbach, Texas is just a few miles outside Fredericksburg (see previous post). The last official census prior to Luckenbach being incorporated (sold) to Fredericksburg was...... 3! Yep, a 3-person town, all three being of the same family!
Basically, the "town" is a small saloon and a dance hall... and, of course, a souvenir shop. Janice and I first visited the saloon (no surprise there).
Yep, that's it... all of it! And if the dog on the floor bothers you, you can always sit a the one table in the saloon, seen below.
Check the Illinois State Police patch on the door post! If you don't like either dogs or cats, you can have a beer under the "Luckenbach Squirrel." (notice spelling on the sign)
After getting our Lone Star and Shiner, we walked the few feet over to the dance hall.
Luckenbach dance hall. Dances are held Wednesdays and Saturdays during this time of the year. |
And if you haven't warmed up to the dog, the cat, or the Luckenbach Squirrel, you may enjoy the several roosters that freely roam (and crow!) BTW, we found they like peanuts.
What a great time!! Janice liked it better than the wine tasting... never thought I'd hear that! A house in hill country and hanging out at Luckenbach would be... well... back to the basics of life!
