Buffalo Gap, Pecan Bayou, Abilene State Park

If you are ever visiting Abilene, Texas you'll want to visit these three historic camping spots of the Comanche and other Indian tribes traveling this area.  Gelo and Pate's Texas Indian Trails include these three as part of their "Rolling Plains" tour; see red circles on top map below: Buffalo Gap top, Pecan Bayou lower right, Abilene State Park lower left.  Click on the map to go to TerraServer.  Buffalo Gap in particular is very evident from the TerraServer photos.  The Friend of Buffalo Gap has a good write-up on the area; be sure to read about the live oaks there (Trees are Sacred in Buffalo Gap)
