Not quite, Robert.

         From Comfort take FM 473 towards Sisterdale.  This road goes back 
under I 10, and is quite straightforward for 5 miles.  Just at about 5 
miles from Comfort the road appears to go straight ahead.  In fact, 473 
makes a right turn (Still heading towards Sisterdale) whilst the road that 
goes straight ahead is Old # 9 (That leads to the bat tunnel and 
Fredericksburg on the back road), ergo, make a right turn here and continue 
along on FM 473 for about  a mile.  The road signs say that there is a road 
off  to the right - which there is-to Waring and Welfare - but 
.................. there is also one off to the left.  This is 
Upper  Sisterdale  Rd.  Turn left onto this road.  You will immediately 
cross a cattle grid, and a few yards on, another one.  These two encompass 
the farmer's pregnant cows, and is, therefore, called the nursery 
.    Follow this road for 2 1/2  miles, crossing a total of 5 cattle grids, 
until you reach #238 on the left-hand side (Opposite a large, but now 
empty, stock tank).

         That is it.  You've found us.  Robert's description of the rest of 
the procedure is correct, except I think he must have been visiting some 
people  other than us - his  kind comments about Fisher and I are very 
exaggerated - I promise you.   There are somewhat fewer chickens than there 
were, including the rooster, thanks to Max the Rott.

         We can be reached by telephone at (830) 995 4352  but don't be 
surprised if the answering machine picks up before I do.  Those of you 
familiar with the situation over Fisher's grandson will fully understand.

         I hope to see many of you here next week.

Elizabeth
