Wheeling with the Brown's: Canyon's Offroad Park

In pursuit of following the Fun Side of ReSource, our blog comes back around to the Brown's, a husband and wife combination working here at ReSource and their off road adventures.  On the weekend of Feb. 26 Amanda and Chris decided to go on an uncharted adventure to a previously unexplored (by them) park here in Texas known as Canyons Off Road Park.  Canyons is nestled just outside of a small tourist town in the Hill Country known as Fredericksburg, Texas, a hot spot for many around Texas wanting to visit the early German culture that originally settled Central Texas.  The park itself is actually located 10 miles to the north of town on private land.  The weekend held the largest turn out Canyons Off Road Park has ever had with 53 vehicles coming out to explore the property.

Dairy Queen is the Texas Stop Sign and a sure stop on any road trip!

The drive from Dallas to Fredericksburg is no short one and Amanda and Chris took off fully loaded on Friday evening after work and pulled into camp just after 10 PM.  After setting up camp and sitting down for a few beverages they turned in for the night, electing to sleep in the Trailer with the heater running!  After a very cold night, they woke up early and loaded up the buggy for what was sure to be a very promising day.  They rounded up their good wheeling buddy John and his Bronco and hit the trails.  The pictures below show just a few of the obstacles we saw.

"If you just rock it a little..."

After a full day's worth of wheeling, dinner was had on the main street of Fredericksburg, Tx at Wheeler's Cafe chosen aptly for the name and how it related to the day's events.  Once back at camp, a fire was had and many frosty adult beverages were consumed.  It was a good time had by all and once again to escape the cold of night they elected to sleep in the trailer.  On Sunday it was time to pack up and head to the house, a successful weekend of wheeling was concluded.  Stay tuned for Chris and Amanda's March trip to Katemcy Rocks in Mason, Tx.

Vaya Con Dios!  All loaded up and headed home!
