Location
Parking for PLANNED MEETINGS is in a small, level, gravel area on the north side of the Concrete & Edgar Road about 1.5
miles west of Hwy 77 that goes from Yoakum to Cuero with overflow parking (if needed) alongside the Concrete & Edgar Road
near there. If parking alongside the road, be sure and pull completely off the road. The road is not much more than one-lane
wide, so parking too near the road would create problems. There is plenty of grassy area alongside Concrete & Edgar road for
safe parking if needed.
When driving west, that gravel area is on the right, just before the road sign for Brown Road that goes south (left) from the
Concrete & Edgar Road. So, it’s essentially at the northeast corner of the intersection of Brown Road and the Concrete &
Edgar Road. The gravel area is at the entrance to a fracking water retention reservoir built in anticipation of an oil well being
drilled there, plans for which are apparently now on hold. The dry reservoir can easily be seen from the road and the parking
area.
From the parking area, the 15-passenger shuttle van and a few other vehicles will make the drive of about one-mile through
the landowner’s ranch over some rough terrain (very bumpy in spots), through some tall grass, past many cows and calves,
through several gates (one currently kept closed), across a branch of Cuero Creek (no bridge), and then up the hill to the old
Edgar home place and the cemetery. The one-mile ride itself is an adventure!
The drive from that parking area back to the cemetery takes about 15 minutes, and the shuttle van will be making as many
round-trips as needed. We are hoping to limit the number of vehicles that drive back to the cemetery, and then only to trucks
or SUVs.
