08 Jun 2005 field trip to the Walzem Chapel, the Knibbe Ranch, and the Schaefer Ranch in Comal County.
The Knibbe Ranch is owned by Chuck Knibbe and the Schaefer Ranch is owned by Mrs. Harvey Schaefer. Everyone brought a sack lunch since there were no restaurants in the area.
The Knibbe ranch tour involved a visit to a historical indian camp site where buffalo were stampeded over a cliff and a lively discussion of the history of the ranch which at one time extended from the Guadalupe River to near the Twin Sisters Mountains which are visible from a hill on the ranch.
