Texas Day 6

Wednesday sunny morning.  VROC ladies. Shannon was off riding so she missed the picture.

The parking lot at "Harry's on the Loop"

I'm not a good customer.  I've been in this place a number of times, but have never had anything to eat or drink.  Just like the "stuff" in side :-)  Coyote is checking his map or weather. :-)

We had 10 bikes make the ride this morning

Bluebonnets are everywhere.  They line all the roads in this part of Texas

It's hard to find a place to park 10 motorcycles. The flowers go all the way to the pavement in most places.

Sisters.....Debbie and Vickie

Lanny even cleaned his bike yesterday.  Actually, a Tom Sawyer trick,  He was showing us some cleaner he bought at a demo some place, so everyone had to give it a try.

It's not hard to find Grandpa D in a crowd of bikes. That Yellow Wing does stand out.  This is Cranky's first time to the Hill Country. He seems to be enjoying himself!

Some kind of strange fungus in this giant Oak

It's nice and warm today

Another stop.  We have to pass up the really good flower shots, because of no parking.

Kathy (Agent 99) has a cool new Trike!

The mighty KLR

Wondering off through the bushes

We couldn't have asked for a better day for a ride

Mesquite and cactus..with a few flowers

Cranky said he rode 2000 miles for this picture

Destination was Cooper's BBQ in Llano, TX.  A VROC tradition.

We arrived after the lunch hour, so the selection is less than usual.  But, they had what we wanted.

A Jam session in Luckenbach.  The man with the straw hat is Irish, over here visiting. He has a beautiful tenor voice.  The lady was very good too.

Had to take this one for Bill (Cranky)

Kathy (Agent 99, and Donna (Blondy)

Different camera shot

Purple rider

Those aren't rocks in the lot.  There are hundreds of bottle caps in the dirt.

Bill is having a fine time!

Lanny snapping away

This little store is loaded with fun stuff

What a Fanny!

Harry's is a fun place

Beaver and Bones

Getting ready to roll

Boots and Bluebonnets

Had to stop so everyone could get some pictures

Lanny parked WAY in the back.  He went off explorering

Donna has a cool coat

My best boot shot

Good lookin' trike!

Cheryl (Wild Rose) rode up here from Georgia. She started out with Blondy, who was on her Nomad.  Some problem not to far from home with the bike, so Cheryl rode on to Texas, and Blondy got here about an hour later in her car.

Cranky is shedding some clothes.  How many people wear sweat pants with chaps........

Kathy getting a flower shot.

Crank again with a different camera.  Bill, take which ever one of these you want.

New growth

Texas Wild Life

Lots of tiny minnows in the clear water.  Some up to 5 or 6 inches.  They are quick!

Mexican Sun Flowers. There are a lot of these this year

All pretty flowers!

The trike can go anywhere!

Parking lot at Cooper's BBQ

The Mesquite coals are shoveled out of these stoves with long handled shovels. Then wheeled into the big cooking pits as needed

Since it was after 2 PM, there wasn't much of a waiting line

This big deer is right across the street from Coopers.  So far, he's managed to keep out of the cookers

Big party coming up in Llano

Pick your food, and they put it on your plate

They weigh it inside, and charge accordingly

The anticipation of eating is building

Blondy's "six pack" abs

Gypsy Chix...I like the Pink Flamingos on the porch

Stonewall moved from Canada to Texas!

You always know what time it is in Llano

Cruising back to Fredericksburg

Puffy clouds and a nice highway

Entering another small town

Another item Cranky can scratch off his Bucket List

Blondy

Pole Dancer

Wild Rose

Lanny is too tired to stand up

He made it. Biglefti

Annual picture. Same hat.  Older.

Leg crawl

The Post Office closed in 1977. But has always been opened for fun.

Stonewall asked me to see if I could find a Calgary patch.  There are dozens of these in various nooks and crannys here in the store.  This was one of the few Canadian ones I could find

Coyote is looking too.  We didn't find Gord's patch

There are always some beautiful chickens in Luckenbach

Bill, Lanny, and Cheryl

I had to buy something in the bar. A 2 buck bottle of water.

There is always a lot of "pickin' and singin' " going on is Luckenback

I didn't post all the chicken pictures, but just had to add some I liked the best

A nice couple

I think I inherited my appreciation for pretty chickens from my mother. 

OK, only a couple more

There were about 4 or 5 roosters,  Simiar, but each a little different

Some tall tails going on here

The ladies look bored.  But I know that were having fun

Waylon and Willie put in an ATM so people would be able to have cash available for big tips (not)  Actually, Waylon never was here. He always planned to come, but ended up passing away before he made it. His home town if Littlefield, TX, isn't too far from here, but he was always busy doing something else to get to Luchenbach.

I like this picture...

This one, not so much :-)

School and teacher's house

Coyote's new ride.  It's a real beauty!

We ended the evening around a nice gas fire pit at the motel,  No one stayed up too late, think we're all getting a little older.
This was a really, really, good day.  Made the trip out here worth it!
