28OCT07 - Ozona, TX




Today’s drive brought us into the western edge of what Texan’s call “the hill country”. These hills are located in the center of the state and are rolling hills covered in oaks and cedar trees. In the summer this area is known for its much milder heat and humidity. After the flat desert and dust of west Texas it was welcome sight.

We set up camp in the small town of Ozona. Ozona claims it is the “Biggest Little Town in the World”? There is no explanation of what this claim is based on; and we could discover no clues during our exploration of the town. Ozona is the county seat of Crockett County named after Davy Crockett who was only in Texas less than three months, but is considered a Texas hero because of the Alamo.

One more day of driving to Kerrville.

I lived near Ozona for 10 months, and never found an answer to that, but the people is friendly, and that little town and the West Ranch made me love the US, because it is so far away from the hollywood image we foreigners have.
