Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
It’s often said there is more buried treasure in Texas than any other state in the nation, with many experts believing the total amount to be roughly $340 million. Whether or not you believe that, hearing the myths and legends is always fun – and I have an incredible story to tell you today. It’s the tale of Money Hill in South Padre Island, where a family graced with good fortune allegedly hid their riches for safekeeping. Nothing in this story has been verified, as it’s most likely nothing more than a legend (but a fascinating one, nonetheless).
What do you think about the legend of Money Hill? Have you heard any other stories about buried treasure in Texas? Tell us your thoughts in the comments! Don’t forget to check out our previous article for a nearby beach town, Port Aransas, that’s one of the most delightful places to visit in the Lone Star State.
