Trip - 999 miles
Sat
- 375 miles
- 67, 174, 933, 22, 56, 217, 215, 116, 580, 501, 16, 1323, 1631, 290,
1376,
Grapetown Road, 473, 10, 1341.
- Cooper's is most excellent.
- X gets hornswaggled when Runt decides to shop at Uptown Lukenbach.
Damage was limited to a magnet.
- YO Ranch in Kerrville is overrated.
- Crusing down 27 to look at the shops is a good shopping experience.
There are no
shops.
- Vacation is a very very good thing.
Sun
- Let's do the 3's
- 315 miles
- 16, 337,336,41,335,83,1120 (oops they really mean road closed, U-turn),
1050,470,173,480,27,473,1376,290,16
- 16 to Medina has some water crossing marked rough road. Not
too bad but
pay attention.
- 336 cattle guards can no longer be taken at speed. Tried it
on first 2, had to go back
twice to pick up a filling and then a cap. 40 seemed
to keep all parts intact.
- 335 remains a most pleasing road.
- Runt rejected Camp Wood food so we dined in Leakey across from the
DFWVROC
gas station. Pleasing cheese steak.
- We scoff at 'Road closed to thru traffic signs'. It is a fake
to keep traffic down.
Wrong. They meant it on 1120.
- Carving nicely along 473 when suddenly we are back on the Goat Trail/Grapetown
Rd.
U-Turn. No signage. Runt whimpers she wants
more goat trail. Scoff. 473/1376 to
Luckenback is pleasing.
- Warmed nicely leaving Luckenbach. Should have put the neckdripper
on.
- Dinner at the Branding Iron in YO Ranch is a 2 hour experience.
Wait staff were
confused. Runt entertainied newcomers with 'I hope you
are not hungry', 'I suggest
you get 2 Cokes', etc. X had a lovely view of the back
wall, hence was limited to
audio from Runt on the 'The big guy in the corner is really getting
mad and the
old guy to the left is throwing things at the waitress and etc'
story line. It was
better than the movie we watched.
Mon
- 309 miles
- 16, 2323, 16, 84, 2005, 218, 36, 22, 174, 67
- Plan to toddle along the sweepers and have lunch at Cooper's is twisted
by the throttle. Cannot wait an hour for them to open
so onward.
- Neckdrippers go on in Meriden and get refilled in Venus. B-Man's
heat
whining has softened the pack.
I love vacation.
