Agreed....this trip is really turning out to be a good one. Their sauce here is nothing short of epic! More to come!

Um ok, where do I sign? Salt Lick BBQ



Good beer drinking and BBQ area

Now people y'all are seeing pictures of my neck of the woods here. That picture from Driftwood is maybe 10 minutes from my house. Lol.

We're gonna try to get Byron to come out and hang out with some wrenches on Saturday. If he's lucky, he will leave with out his truck getting modified in some way. Lol

Bill that's wild! I read the little history on the sign posted in front of that Methodist church. Is that the one? Really cool looking community right there. My wife said she could live there! Haha!

Thanks for the kind words Travis. Something tells me though that your OBS would put mine to shame in the "run down the road like a rabbit" department!! She's a work in progress.

I completely agree Kevin. RRE is one such event, but not all of us can make that one. I am guessing it would be quite a good time had by all. I am with Travis in that I would help with a Texas event any way I could. Even though I am on the West Coast, we get back this way enough to see my wife's family and the Hill Country.
