Texas Hill Country

Oh, we love this TX Hill Country!

*

We travel 1,000 miles + to find BBQ meat this good - look at it!

*

Junction, TX was recommended to us and we found tiny Junction has TWO BBQ places. So we did what seemed the best way to choose the best of the two...ask the locals. Gregg's poll of 3 interviewees all said Lum's so there we were, scarfing down the 3 meat plate (brisket, ribs and sausage) - all fantastic. We still smelled the smoked meat when we went to bed last night. And I love any place where I go get my own bottle of Shiner Bock (that's Texan for "beer") in the refrigerated case.

To top off a great stop in Junction, we stayed at their FREE city park with several pull thru RV sites overlooking the South Llano River and the town dam and waterfall.

The night before we spent at old favorite Balmorhea State Park. Picnic ramadas are old CCC structures. Picturesque neighbor in their unique camper...

Gregg got in a snorkel swim in the beautiful artesian pool - always 72-76 degree water.
