About
We are located west of the Hwy290W/Hwy71 split west of Austin. 30 minutes to downtown w/o traffic; 55 at peak times. 10-15 minutes to Driftwood and Dripping Springs anytime.
Update on Hwy 290W: The only way to reach our home is Hwy 290W and it is experiencing extreme road construction. Traffic is extremely heavy (in part due to the roadwork) between 3:30PM and 6:30 PM. It is best to plan your arrival for about 3PM but if later, well before sundown.
Suggested Local Attractions:close to:

Love the Outdoors and Music
Details:
We enjoy watching birds, listening to live music (RP plays the handpan, piano and didgeridoo), travel and good food. We swim and hike regularly and RP has recently taken to rock climbing. Last year we traveled to Baja to see whales and swim with whale sharks., traveled to Quebec to pick up our travel trailer (Alto by Safari Condo), flew to Oaxaca (Mexico) for the Day of the Dead celebration and finished up the year with Thanksgiving at Big Bend National Park.

Skills or Expertise to Share:
RP is the original MacGyver; he currently (retires in May) works for a civil engineering firm specializing in road and pavement characteristics. He makes prototypes of machines to measure characteristics. He also makes didgeridoos (https://www.austindidgeridoo.com/who-we-are/ ) and performs with the local band Antares, playing the handpan and didgeridoo. Somehow he fits in making soap, rock climbing and playing the piano.
Peggy has spent the last 45 years in travel. And, until recently, the last 40 in running a company that offers birdwatching tours worldwide, www.fieldguides.com. She spends most her time planning their adventures.
