Stay at the Hico Upstairs Inn. My wife loved it.

Brushy Bill Roberts is from my wifes family. My father in law, who is 84 now, met him when he was a child. Says he was a rough fellow. Rode up to a relatives place near Canton on horseback with a couple of guys. My wifes great aunt said he never would stay in one place for more than a couple of days. Two sisters these great aunts, one says he was Billy the Kid, one says it was BS.
The connection I have with BTK, is he didn't know who his father was, and his mother had the same last name as my family. He went by William Bonney, and his mothers last name was McCarty.
The problem I have believing Brushy Bill was the Kid, is the dates don't line up that well. He would have been well over 100 when he died. Not impossible, but.

Back in the mid 80's we were on our way to our lease outside of Goldthwaite. Back then, the Koffee Kup was on Walnut street (hwy 281), a few blocks south of where it is now. When we passed by it, there were a whole mess of bikers in the parking lot...I mean a LOT of them. Well, across the street, there were about 30 or so cop cars, city cops, sheriff's cars and state troopers. I don't don't what happened, if anything. Never did hear any news about a confrontation or anything else. Pretty cool though!
