Dimmit County Historical Markers
NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 19
Have - 11 Need - 8
Named for Philip Dimmit, a key player in the Texas Revolution. The county seat and location of most of the markers is Carrizo Springs.
This part of Texas was new to me until this trip and it felt to me very much like being in the wild west. For the first part of being in the county, capturing the markers went pretty smoothly, the markers were in or around town. Now we have the hard maybe impossible part. These markers are on large old established ranches in other words private property. Some of the King's highway markers are in the middle of the properties it would require firstly permission, correct clothing, a vehicle able to tolerate the terrain and lastly probably a guide. So if all the stars aligned the, Kinks Highway markers do exist and it is possible. I am yet to confirm that is the case for Valenzuela Ranch Headquarters.
