Richards, TX - Mexico Hills Ranch - rest day

We spent the day at the Mexico Hills Ranch.  This was a rest day with no planned agenda :). This was a very peaceful and delightful place.  It appears that that proprietors, Ernie and Doris, are operating the ranch as a hobby/business.  

They have approx. 50 cattle on their 80 acres.  Additionally, they are developing a campground catering to the needs of cross country bicyclists and motorcyclists.  Ernie has constructed several buildings including small guest houses, shower and bathrooms, a laundry/bicycle garage, dining shelters, and bar/rec room.

Ernie and Doris provided guided tours of the ranch via tractor and hay wagon.  After dinner, Bubba arranged for a lecture by a local historian on Navasota and the legendary Frank Hammer. The speaker was also the artisan that created the life size statuary of Hammer that is located in front of the Navasota City Hall.
