Sonora, Texas
-the county seat of Sutton County. Here is something I wrote about Sonora on this forum back on June 29th:
Have spoken with mom and sis, and had my basic memories of Sonora and area confirmed. Sister Cathy has been to Sonora many times (including the Caverns near town), having once gone there to help build a house for an underprivileged family, and she has a pretty detailed recollection of the place.
She tells me that the land around Sonora is neither hilly nor flat, but is rather characterized by gently rolling terrain. The vegetation is sparse and scrub-like--the juniper and oak of Kerrville gives way to mesquite and prickly-pear cactus. It's definitely not Hill Country.
The town itself is small, with some green spots to be seen. There is one main road through town, and a scarcity of any big-name stores.
The Caverns are a short drive outside of town. Both mother and sister remember them as being pretty, with distinctive "bacon rind" patterns to be seen on some walls and stalactites; Cathy also recalls an unusual "butterfly" pattern to be seen on some of the formations. My mother remembers seeing sparkling mica on the walls of one chamber. The caverns are a living cave system, and are very steep and deep.
A guidebook I consulted stated that Sonora and Sutton County is a major center for the production of Angora wool in the U.S. The goats are descended from a flock donated to some man from the Ottoman Sultan back in 1849, in recognition of some good service which I cannot now recall with certainty.

I was going to use Ten Sleep but that had been taken. Still walking ten miles in my shoes should get me ready for bed....
