Geocache Description:

Bailey, Queen of Cats, beckons you to a brief respite from your journey.

Bailey has always traveled. Since she was a baby kitten, she has enjoyed riding in the car. When Bailey was younger she would stand on my shoulders and stick her head out of the window – just like a dog! Now, Bailey prefers to recline majestically on her royal cushion placed on the seat of honor. She chooses rest stops where her aristocratic paws can stroll on soft grasses. Exit I-10 eastbound mile marker 514 in Kerr County for such a place.

This is a large rest area in the Texas tradition – clean, attractive, well maintained. The building is not one of the fancy new designs, but it contains the travelers’ most urgent need. Oversized parking accommodates our truck driving friends. Vending machines, a pavilion for large groups, and an RV station are available. It even has a paved nature walk. Stretch your legs and take a look at the Hill Country. There is a little viewing area at the end of the paved trail. It did have a clear panorama of the surrounding hills. Now the vista is partially obscured by a cell tower - the price of convenience.

The back side of this rest area has large grassy spaces and is away from traffic. It’s a great place to give your cat (or dog) a break from the road. The cache is located in the back area. Just follow the loop road and park at the second picnic table on the right. Use a flashlight if attempting at night. The area is well mowed, but be watchful for active creatures.

We have a lot of long trips and really looked forward to the rest stop caches. “When’s the next one” is a common phrase. So take a break, log a find, and hit the road again!

The county was named for James Kerr, an Old Three Hundred colonist and an important figure in the Texas Revolution

A “cedar brake” is a site dominated by a canopy of cedar species. A” brake” is a term tracing back to 1563 used in reference to “rough or marshy land overgrown usually with one kind of plant”, hence cedar brake and cane brake.
