Just Was Thinking BBQ

Well, it was just supposed to be a quick motorcycle trip up the back roads to Lockhart Texas for some BBQ. Only going to be gone a couple hours, but then it turned into an all day affair.

First, there was the obligatory Starbucks stop to look over my back roads maps, but then came the farmers market next door in the parking lot, where I met the nicest people selling their produce, soaps, and breads. Got to talking with some of them in between the customers that came up to get their fresh produce and other things for
their larders. 

After that, about 25 miles out of town, I just have to stop to check out the old laborer's shack, now sitting abandoned in the middle of a farmers field. Got a lot of great shots of that one. There was just something about it that kept me there for 45 minutes.


At last I was on my way, but them in Fentress, I crossed the river and saw kyakers and river bathers just having a great time. It was all a whirlwind of activity for me, and I can’t keep the names straight, but it was the joy that everybody was having, with kids laughter ringing out, along with the squeals of horror on being presented with their first live fish pulled from the river.

After that, I actually made it to Smittys where I had the best part of the day ... 2 Dr Peppers, some ribs, and some brisket.

But wait, there’s more ... On the way home just
had to stop and grab some shots of that old car sitting by the side of the road.....

Finally about 8 pm I get back home. Tired but Happy.

Here are the pics ......
