I spent a lot of time in the Texas Hill Country as a little girl. We'd most often be in the Johnson City area, on some ranch land or some other piece of property cutting cedar. I forgot how much I miss it. There is something so comfortable about being in the HIll Country: wide open skies, whipping winds, dirt roads, and a simple kind of innocence. My brother and I drove through the Hill County on the way to our race and it was nice to be back in the area. Most exciting for me was sleeping in the pitch black country under the gorgeous Texas sky, full of the most beautiful stars you have ever seen.
