Jones Road (above) and FM 1736 (top) in Waller County near Blackwood. Joyriding at its best.
Waller County has the most beautiful pastures in Texas. It’s situated in an ideal microclimate between tropical Houston and semi-arid Washington County. In 2012 the farmers are on-track to get at least 3 cuttings of round bales. And it’s no ordinary hay—it’s as clean and rich as it gets. With drought conditions running from just north of here all the way through the traditional hay-basket of the central states this is a great year to be a hay farmer in Waller County.
The way you see on a motorcycle is different—and the things you see can take you places you never thought you’d go. Like the Serengeti Plain.
FM 362 north of Hwy 290 runs through Waller, Harris, and Grimes counties where it ends at Hwy 105. Motorcyclists who know about it love it for its smooth sweeping curves and sparse traffic. Not too far in from 290 you’ll pass by El Corazon Kennels. Except you won’t know it. When you pass by the El Corazon gate you ride into a Serengeti Visage with African wildlife dotting the lush green pasture. This weekend we caught a small herd of Zebras nosing their way through a pasture Paradiso—a place they never thought they’d go.
