A town of about four hundred people is hardly the likely centre of anything, but Leakey is where Texas motorcyclists come to get their kicks. It sits on the Frio River in the Hill Country, in the little county of Real, among limestone bluffs, bald cypress and live oaks, and it is the base for the roads known as the Twisted Sisters, three ranch roads numbered 335, 336 and 337 that tangle through the hills west of the highway. They are among the most famous motorcycle roads in the state.
Medina is apple country, which is not what most people expect of Texas. Up here in the western Hill Country, the elevation and cooler nights let orchards thrive, and the little town on the Medina River has made itself the Apple Capital of Texas, with roadside stands selling pies, cider and fresh fruit from late summer into fall. The shops have a rustic, Western look, with porches, hitching rails and a feeling of being a long way from anywhere.
