AUSTIN—A Hill Country tour
through two of the state’s newest
outdoor attractions and one of its
most distinguished showplaces
highlights the February issue of
TEXAS HIGHWAYS magazine.
The Honey Creek Preserve,
one of the newest and most
challenging projects of the Texas
Nature Conservancy, and neigh-
boring Guadalupe River State
Park, one of the state’s newest
parks, form a convenient sym-
biosis. The park provides visitors
a place to camp, canoe, or fish,
and the preserve furnishes them
an enlightened glimpse into the
region’s ecological past.
For those wishing a more urban
visit, the Governor’s. Mansion in
Austin, for the first trine since its
completion in 1856, is ^in first-
class condition,” according to
First Lady Linda Gale White.
TEXAS HIGHWAYS-the
official state travel publica-
tion-takes a look at these Hill
Country attractions and more.
The February issue is available on
newsstands and by subscription.
With a 300,000-plus circulation,
TEXAS HIGHWAYS magazine
reaches readers in all 50 states
and 149 foreign countries.
You can receive a Texas adven-
ture 12 times a year by writing
TEXAS HIGHWAYS, NR, P.O.
BOX 5016, Austin, Texas 78763.
A one-year subscription costs
$10, or $15 if mailed out of the
country.
Perched on the banks of the
Guadalupe River, , the Honey
Creek Preserve is not only a
beautiful place, but also an
important one from a scientific
point of view. The low canyon
through which the creek runs
shelters many plants commonly
found much farther east,
including palmetto, spicebush,
and Carolina basswood. Addi-
tionally, explorers crawling
around a recently discovered cave
near the creek found .a new vari-
ety of blind cave salambnder.
By fortunate coincidence,
Honey Creek Preserve adjoins
the Guadalupe River State Park.
Although the park offers nature
trails and ample areas to hike and
camp, most people head straight
for the river. For those river
lovers who don’t have a canoe,
kayak, or inner tube for floating,
there’s plenty of quiet water for
swimming, fishing, or just foot-
soaking.
The magazine also examines
the architecture, heritage, and
present status of the state’s
Executive Mansion.
Still considered one of the
finest examples of the squarish,
columned Greek Revival design
that was the popular ‘’demo-
cratic” architectural style of the
early 19th Century, Texans now
have a showplace complete with a
comprehensive collection of 19th
Century American Empire and
early Texas period furnishings.
Other highlights of the
February issue of TEXAS
HIGHWAYS magazine include
some of the state’s best kept
barbeque secrets, the bed and
breakfast hostel business in
Jefferson, and Fort Worth’s new
theater, the Omni.
In addition, a regular feature,
“Fun Forecast,” shows a variety
of places where readers can enjoy
special events in January.
Since every issue is filled with
the infinite variety of Texas—jts
history, scenery, its unusual hap-
penings—most TEXAS HIGH-
WAYS readers soon discover that
the best way to experience Texas
is with a subscription. TEXAS
HIGHWAYS magazine brings
the state to their mailbox every
month.
