Goodbye as we leave Lake Lavon

Monday arrives and we need to head south. Our first stop is the parking lot of Walmart in Georgetown to meet Bob & Peggy Pfluger, fellow RVer's who we meet each year. Bob takes a picture before we depart, but I decide not to use it because they blinked when the shutter went off. Closed eyes = no good! We'll try again next year.
At the Texas welcome center when entering the state, Bob picked up a brochure on the Texas BBQ Trail. Since Lockhart is pretty much on our path to Austin, we decide to give it a try.

The brochure lists 3 BBQ houses in Lockhart: (1) Black's BBQ, (2) Chisholm Trail BBQ, and (3) Smitty's Market. Black's claim to be the oldest, Chisholm Trail claims to have the most side dishes, and Smitty's Market claims to have the best brisket, pork chops and sausage. You can be the judge!

Chisholm Trail is right on Highway 183
Since Bob really wanted to try the Brisket, we went to Smitty's. Unfortunately for me, all the smoked meats are prepared inside, leaving me with watery eyes, a stuffy nose, and anxious to get out!

After lunch, we drive south to Austin for a one night stay. We have been here before and are anxious to go to San Antonio, as tomorrow we celebrate 31 years of marriage.
