Luchenbach, Texas - Party Central

Luckenbach claims a population of three and its moto is "Everybody's Somebody in Luckenbach." With this in mind, we expected to find a ghost town. We were very surprised to find the Hill Country's Party Center! There were plenty of people sitting around chatting or listening to one of the live guitar players while others played games. And then there were all the Harley Davidson riders, kicking back or checking each others bike. One thing they all had in common, they were all enjoying the setting and a cold one.

 

Incidently, on our way home we returned, hoping to get some pictures without any people. Well, even early on Sunday morning Luckenbach is popular with strange people on bikes wearing funny helmets and clothing. Except these riders were pedaling their ride and drinking power drinks instead of beer (I know, some of you consider beer a "power drink" but that is not what I meant).

 

To get to Luckenbach from Fredericksburg take 290 east about 6 miles to FM1376. Then go south for about 6 or 7 miles to Luckenbach. Pay attention or you will pass it up (it will be on your right as you head south). And don't be fooled by "Uptown Luckenbach" - that only means you are close.
