By Neil June 17, 2008 July 16, 2011 0

After acquiring an additional 18 acres next to the 8 we already owned near Park Road 1C in Bastrop County, Karen and I have decided that we will apply the name Dusty Boot Ranch to the property at 139 Pines Park Road in Smithville, TX. There are no cows (yet), …
