Howdy Pardner or just a minute “hon” I’ll be right with you.  Ya, we’re learning cowboy speak.

Today we had a leisurely morning here at the motorhome.  Took Andie for a walk and gabbed with some of the travelers here in the park.Then we decided to visit Luckenbock which is on the same highway as the Western White House.  But worlds apart as you will see in our photos .

Mainly it is a place where the bikers can ride in dressed in their finest and have a beer or three and strut around like peacocks.  Does anyone feel that all black leathers is becoming to either sex.  Bikers are kind of weird I’d have to say.

There were four or five cowboys jamming with us visitors as their audience.  Leo ,you have fond memories of the place.  Here’s a joke one of the good ole boys told.  Question, what does a beer and a booger  have in common?  Answer, the beer always stays on top of the table.  The old boy in the big white goatee told that one :)

Anyway it is a dusty old place with unpainted barns with chickens running around and this time there was a rancher that had a Texas long horn bull saddled and ready for folks to climb aboard for a $7 picture.  Really hilarious.  Later we saw the owner ride the bull right out of the town headed toward the horse...uh bull trailer.  Fun place.

On the way back we walked through a good part of Fredericksburg.  This town has over 700 buildings on the Historical Registry.  It is full of history.  At the turn of the century over 6000 German immigrants sailed on sailing ships to ports south of the area.  Most settled here in the Hill Country.

Of course it was coffee time so we visited a famous  shop that serves fresh pies and coffee.  Claudia had a berry pie and I had chocolate pecan pie.  Both to die for.  We sat next to a young couple from Japan that couldn’t speak a lick of English.  But as we were finishing our coffee a couple came up to us and asked if we were from Oregon.  I thought that maybe I had an Oregon tattoo showing or something.  They took a chance and noticed our car parked in front of the place with Oregon plates.  They had lived in Oregon at one time.  We meet a lot of people this way.    

It kind of reminds me of Volkswagen stories people would come up with when we had our volksy.

Tomorrow we are heading out and will probably make Bird Island, Corpus Christie where we will have to get used to dry camping on the beach.  I kind of like full hookups and 70 ch on the TV.  Stayed tuned Ya’ll.
