    I have a few days to kill in west/south/central Texas next week. Any recommendations on places to chow?(excluding Austin/San Antonio).

    How about historic hotels or off the beaten path accommodations? Anyone ever stay in the Gage in Marathon?

    Thanks.

    been to the Gage and it's a great place. Also, great people...hang out at the bar for a little after dinner.

    West/South/Central Texas is a bit large of a range. Care to narrow it down?

    Gage is great, btw. Alpine/Ft. Davis/Marfa also on the West side of things.

    Thanks guys, the Gage is on the list for sure.

    I haven't really narrowed it down too much....coming in from the west, down I-10ish way. I'm just freewheeling with no agenda and no clock. Probably a stop in Fredricksburg, then maybe something around Canyon Lake. I'll be hitting Lockhart for the BBQ somewhere along the way as well.

    Anywhere San Marcos hit up the square for cheap drinks and the city is awesome!

    I'd pick a Bed and Breakfast place in Fredricksburg. Here's site with a gallery to choose from:

    Is the Green Parrot still on the square? Any place to stay close to there? If I start drinking, I won't be driving.

    If I waited until Dec 30th, The MoonDoggs of Marfa are playing there:grin:


    I'll make note of that place....it looks nice. The last time I stayed down there was in a dump with a shared bathroom where some nasty drunken ho peed all over the toilet. I have my limits when sober and that's one of them.

    There's some rather "interesting" inhabitants down in Terlingua, eh. They looked at me like I was from outer space.
