A shape,not a script
This is how it often runs. Every day of yours is rewritten around who is coming, what they love, and how much they want to do.
Part 1. Arrival
Austin, then the ranch
Met planeside in Austin and driven, or flown, out to a private ranch in the Hill Country.
Part 2. On the ranch
Horses and the open range
Riding out with the wranglers, a cattle drive if you want to work, and swimming in the river.
Part 3. Supper
The pitmaster
A pitmaster cooks brisket low and slow on the ranch, and a band plays under the oaks.
Part 4. In town
Austin at night
The live music city, with the best rooms on the night and the tables that go with them.
Part 5. West
Marfa and Big Bend
A private plane to the art town of Marfa, then Big Bend at sunset and some of the darkest skies in America.
