Rocksprings

Elevation : 2,450
Population : 2,253

Rocksprings, a rugged little sheep-and-goat town on US 377 approximately 100 miles west of San Antonio, is the seat of Edwards County, one of the top producers of wool and mohair in the world. This is a pass-through town, with quick amenities for gassing up and moving on. Hunting and fishing generates 20% of the county’s income, Del Rio and Ciudad Acuna are down the road, and the spectacular 400-foot- deep Devil’s Sinkhole is to the east.

Notes
You’ll see your limitations for adventure in town, so head 25 miles south via Texas 55 to Barksdale. Set in the Nueces Canyon, Indian caves dot the canyon walls, and fly-fishers can go crazy in the numerous clear streams. Take precautions and avoid the police, as we’ve burdened them before, being pulled over for speeding outside of town in the early stages of a binge. It was a close one that involved the officers driving our truck back into town for a blow on the wonder machine. The failed test and our subsequent freedom surely says something about their eager intentions.
