Lost Maples

meyerThis is not Lost Maples State Park. It’s Gastehaus Meyer in Comfort. But they’re touting the park as the perfect reason to come spend a fall weekend with them (then drive to the park near Vanderpool). Must consult with Mrs. Charm. Sounds nice. If we can make arrangements to park Mr. Boy with a chum for two nights.

It looks like Treebeard in Lord of The Rings, but it’s really a Cypress tree in Cypress Creek in Comfort. I think. Hoom, Hom!

Ingenhuett’s Fancy Grocery and General Store

burned1It’s been three years since fire (apparently caused by faulty electrical wiring) gutted Comfort’s famed domino parlor. Among other things, it sold ammunition for guns no longer in production. Seems the family owners can’t afford to restore it. Pity, that.

Comfort State Bank

bankmuseum1Actually, the Comfort, TX, town museum. Used to be a bank, though. How does a little town rate a museum? It starts by drawing lots of tourists.

Finally getting around to posting some Comfort, Texas, photos. Had so much fun on our stay there, I didn’t take many, but I liked this limestone cottage on main street. Except for the useless gutters. Either rain here is too light to need them, or heavy enough to overwhelm them.
