Made it to Kerrville

We left this morning for a short 20 miles drive to a small Texas town of Gainesbury where we had a coffee and met other cars. We left with 9 cars, 7 were Deuces. We took the 2 lane back roads west and south, a beautiful drive.
Had lunch at the famous Texas BarB Que spot called Coopers in Llano. It is a big building with several outdoor cookers, you pick the meat you want from ribs, brisket, pork, sausage, steak, chicken, they cut off a piece the size you want, flop it on a tray, next you take it inside, they weigh it and give you a price, then you add slaw,corn,potatoe salad, what ever you want, they give you a piece of wax paper for a plate, add beans and more BBQ sauce, find a spot to sit, there are many rows of picnic tables. On the tables are jars of peppers, loaves of bread and rolls of paper towels for napkins.............cool place. I told the guys that we had places just like this all over MN!! Awesome tasting food.
We arrived in Kerrville about 3 PM. On the way we drove by "Lady Bird Johnson Park" many beautiful houses and rolling Texas hills. There is not another state that has
" Texas pride" like this state. Texas flags flying, painted on walls, made into iron fences, on most business signs, really a cool state.
There are about 100 Deuces here already tonight, just wait untill Saturday. I have seen so many friends already. Three couples from Colorado that I see each year in CA are here again. Friends from all around Texas, good to see them all again. Many many NICE cars.
