Fredericksburg, Texas Day 9

It was cold this morning. The thermometer showed 48 degrees at 7:30 A.M. We stayed in all morning and then decided to go to Driftwood, Texas to eat at The Salt Lick barbeque place. It was a drive of about 60 miles each way (a long way to go to eat), but it proved to be well worth it. They had excellent hickory smoked brisket, pork ribs, and sausage. It was served family style and they just kept refilling the platter. We all ate way too much. I have included a picture of Emily, Steve and Ellen with our waitress named Cassie.

The drive was interesting and we saw a lot of backroads and scenery (we cut across country to avoid going through Johnson City). On the way over we went through Luckanbach and stopped for a short visit. It is fairly close to Fredericksburg so we will probably go back later. The Blanco River is beautiful with lots of dams across the river and rapidly flowing water. On the return trip we went through Wimberly.
