Today we made a drive through the backroads to Llano. The county roads here are usually gravel and sometimes dirt. There are a lot of cattle guards and low-water crossings (here they call them slabs). We went to a little town that is named Castell and is the oldest town in Llano county. There are two water crossings on the Llano River between here and Llano. At the first one we came upon a truck and trailer that had washed off the crossing. The wrecker driver arrived about the same time that we did and he told us that it had happened seven days ago, but the water had just now gone down enough to try and get it out. The water must have been really high when they tried to cross. We watched for about an hour and a half until they had the truck out. They unhitched the trailer and were going to pull it out by itself. It made for an interesting morning.
