FM-1376 South, to Boerne...Route 46 back to Route 281, and South to home.

From the ride...

Had no idea it was Friday, the 13th. Losing track of the days while on vacation...*priceless*.
100 plus degrees.
Wimberley is a nice artsy town.
It's amazing how little Canyon Lake activity there is on a non-weekend day
The DQ we stopped at in Blanco is right across the street from Phil's BBQ, where Danno & Annie ate lunch two days before.
Don't even think about getting gas in Sisterdale. It's a one-horse town.
Dad must have found the Harley somewhat comfortable; he drove it at least 20% faster than the Nighthawk.
The Beemer has an electric wind shield (up/down) that was actually quite effective.
