Hill Country/Cowboy Country/Tarpley/Hondo Creek Hideaway
Hondo Creek Hideaway
Tarpley · Cowboy Country
The creek runs along the property and the waterfront is private to the house. There is no public gauge on Hondo Creek, so there is no live reading to give — we photograph it regularly instead.
Bandera born. Cattle and horses his whole life, and he has watched the town sell the cowboy thing for forty years without ever quite deciding whether it minds. He also knows this house — the beds, what is in it. Ask him.
