Texas Daytripper's Postcard Day Trip Guides

(Order from list below.)

Remember when you were a kid....  pretending, using your imagination, and becoming so involved in creating your adventures that you forgot about everything else?  Randomly following back roads and exploring small country towns takes me back to that same carefree feeling, and is the best stress relief medicine I've found.  It's exciting to discover treasures that can be anything from a spider’s web glistening on a wildflower, boots on fence posts, mailbox art, a tree arched road, walls crumbling with past echoes, or a farmer’s humorous phrase overheard in a country cafe. 

Texas Daytripper’s road trip guides are about taking a day, or a weekend, and experiencing the venturesome kid in you again.  It can feed the imagination to know something about who has passed that way before, so I’ve done the research to find history, legends, or other info for you.  The directions, maps, and blurbs are all on the cards to read as you go.  And to raise the fun level, there are riddles and clues to a ‘scavenger word hunt’ crossword puzzle to solve during the trip. 

The guides are done in postcard format and can be downloaded below as photo JPG files.  These can be transferred to phones that display photos, which is a convenient way to follow the route.  (They look great on IPhones!) The download will also include a PDF file of all of the cards which can be printed as a booklet.  Several of the cards are full postcard photos of scenes along the route.  These can be used to create your own postcards to mail to your friends and family. 

Make every day an adventure! And watch for more Texas Daytripper ones to come!

Fredericksburg To Comfort.. And A Railroad

 (Post Card Day Trip)

Download includes 64 cards as JPG photo files (that look great on an IPhone!) and a PDF file that can be printed as a booklet.

You will love the back roads on this one!  This day trip will start by heading east out of Fredericksburg. From Fredericksburg, you will take a small side trip to the zany, crazy town of Luckenbach. Then you will follow the route of a vanished railroad looking for signs of its ghostly remains on the countryside.  After winding through the small towns of Waring and Welfare, it will be on to the charming town of Comfort to explore and learn about the diversity of its settlers and architecture.  Plan for this to take most of a day so you will have time to explore!  After reaching Comfort, you can choose to head back to Fredericksburg in less than an hour or follow our suggestions for staying overnight in Comfort.

The download also includes a Crossword Puzzle to fill in answers to clues given throughout the day trip!  (Use this link to email us for the answers, if you need them.
