Some of the first jobs that were provided here in Bandera were from the sawmill. Large Cyprus trees that line the Medina River as it flows from north to south were cut down and used for roofing material in the San Antonio area. Floods come here periodically and one of those floods washed the mill away curtailing work for a time. As you drive north out of Bandera you can see the trees still thrive along the river making it a great place to drive and take a swim in the cool clear water. You can stop for apple pie alamode in Medina. The sawmill is gone but you can enjoy the ride.
