Roadside History
This morning on my way to Del Rio, Texas I stopped at a roadside historical marker. You never know what you'll find when you pull off to read one of these things, nine times out of ten it's something real obscure.
Sure enough, it was obscure, but at least I had actually heard of the Rio Grande Colony before (although I never knew much about it or exactly where it was.) So imagine my delight when I stumbled across this sign:
The sign was posted 8 miles north of the actual site, but that's pretty typical since so many historic spots are located on private property. Or perhaps it's a safety issue, I know I'd hate to run across a mob of angry Comanches on my morning commute.
