Tour of the Texas Hill Country - Part 3

Our next stop will be Burnet, Texas, the Bluebonnet Capital of the World. Burnet, Texas is a great little town. As you continue on Hwy 29, you might want to move your RV to the Big Chief RV park. The Big Chief RV park is located right off Hwy 29 on Ranch Road 690. The park sits on Lake Buchanan. It's a great spot to use as a home base.
While in Burnet, Texas, you must check out the town square. There are several antique and gift shops. During December, Burnet sponsors "Old Town Bethlehem". This is a reenactment of the actual Bethlehem during Jesus's birth. This is an awesome event! Also, during the second weekend of December, Christmas around the square will happen in conjunction with Old Town Bethlehem.
April bring the famous Bluebonnet Festival. This is 3 days of parades, vendors, live music. There is something for everyone.
While you are in the area, you must visit the Vanishing Texas River Cruise. This cruise will take you up the Colorado River on Lake Buchanan. It is a fabulous 2 hour adventure. Be sure to stop and visit Longhorn Caverns while you are in the area.
There is so much to do in the wonderful Texas Hill Country that you may have to plan more than one trip. Keep traveling!
