Cutest little store and coffee shop
We stopped in while staying at the River Bluff Cabins. They have some of the cutest items - could have gotten into a lot of trouble here. Did buy an awesome trucker hat and the coffee drinks were delish!

Trip ruined.
We had a great time visiting the frio river this weekend, until I lost my swimsuit after leaving it at the lodge we stayed in after check out on Sunday. So I headed over to Josh's Frio River Outfitters to buy a new one. When I got to the register the girl working swiped my card and immediately I got a notification on my phone from my banking app that my purchase for $41.11 was approved. I waited a second and the girl looked confused and said the system had frozen. I waited a good 15 minutes while they tried to figure it out. Another man comes over to help and I showed them both my card had been charged, but they couldn’t see it on their end they said. Finally after a short while, the employee tells me that it went through and I’m good to go. I thanked him and went on my way, not waiting for a receipt bc I had intended to use the swimsuit immediately and not return. All good right? No. Around 8:45 pm Tracey and I went down to have a drink and eat at the Inn we had moved to, to stay one more night in town. We walk up to the bar and a man comes up behind us and asked us to come with him. It’s the local sheriff. We willingly start to walk out to talk with him and before I make it to the door he begins pushing me in my side. I turn and ask him not to touch me and ask what this is about. He VERY rudely tells me to “shut up if I don’t want to go to jail” he says I was at a local property in town and owe someone “$30”. He continues to threaten us and makes a phone call to “ Josh” to tell him he “has his people”. When I tried to explain what happened in the store the sheriff didn’t want to hear any of it and accuses me of using a “bad card”. When Josh shows up, I’m forced by the sheriff to hand over cash to Josh or risk being arrested, even though I showed them both it is very clearly pending in my account that my card WAS charged, explained HIS employee told me it went through and I was good to leave after I waited very patiently for them to figure out what was wrong. If you ever intend on visiting either one of his stores, make sure you get a receipt. Thanks for the hospitality, Josh & Tessa Shandley
