Road trip through Gillespie County shows rough routes to Boerne
An editor travels by car on Election Day from the Alamo City through Gillespie County to San Antonio. He notes bad stretches near Pedernales and Bankersmith, praises new road works from Haha's Land to Kendall County, and highlights the Gillespie County Good Roads Association efforts. He visits Waring, Brichte Creek, Guadalupe River without a bridge, and Boerne with graded and gravel sections. He stops for meals and meetings with advertisers, attending events at Beethovan Hall and San Antonio breweries, and ends back in San Antonio after soliciting ads for Fredericksburg papers.
