Francie Mannix Owner + Editor
As we explore the beautifully quaint towns of the picturesque Hill Country – from New Braunfels to Llano, and all our favorite towns tucked away in between – we have nothing but praise for the LOCAL artisans, family-owned businesses, and entrepreneurs that make each of these places so unique. There is so much to love about this enchanting country side, especially its abundance of off-the-beaten-path hidden gems, like antique markets, roadside orchards, award-winning vineyards and distilleries, rolling hills for scenic cycling, famous Hill Country BBQ joints, the Nimitz Museum, LBJ Park, Museum of Western Art, Blue Hole, Jacob’s Well, Willow City Loop, Luckenbach, Gorman Falls, Science Mill, and Eckert James River Bat Cave Reserve… Enjoy and remember to tell them Scout sent you!!
