Our days here in Columbus are drawing to a close. We will reluctantly move on toward the east next Monday. One of the prominent names we have encountered in our aimless wanderings during the last two weeks here is Schobel. The Schobel family owns and operates Schobel’s, our favorite breakfast haunt in Columbus. On the wall of their dining room are jerseys of 3 Schobel brothers who played ball at TCU and subsequently in the NFL. Today we found Schobel Road and wandered its length to check out the estates of these Texans.
It appears they live pretty well because the ranches or game farms or exotic wildlife killing fields are quite spiffy with beautiful, massive houses, ponds, gorgeous pastures full of flowers, big thickets of oak and juniper and no uninvited guests because they are all gated. The road is currently lined with bluebonnets and a whole bunch of other red, yellow, pink and purple flowers we can’t identify. The redbud trees are open for business and we ran across some quite healthy clumps of wisteria gone native. The Schobels have carved out some spectacularly scenic terrain for their lives here in the midst of the similarly gorgeous area near Columbus, TX.
