ABOUT THE PLACE

I must admit, I've only been to Salado once, but I was thoroughly unimpressed by it. There was only one shop that had "quality" artwork, and the rest of the places sold stuff that I guess would be described as "folk art". You know, cheap wooden stuff with lace on it, most of which has some religious meaning. Not my style; didn't like it. Go to Wimberly - it's closer, better shops, more character, and the drive is much more scenic.

The only good excuse to drive up to Salado is to visit Chalk Ridge Falls Park.
