Friday Morning
Driver's Meeting and departure was at the
Cracker Barrel
on I-20 & Winscot in Ft Worth |
 |
At one point we had 26 cars signed up - for varying
reasons, we ended up with 15; a great size for this type
of trip |

The first "pit stop" was in Hamilton, after enjoying a few
back roads on an indirect route (not 281) |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
From Hamilton we headed off on another back road to end up
on Hwy 16 |
 |
 |
|

|
|
A lunch stop at
Cooper's BBQ (the original) in Llano,
TX |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Before arriving in Fredericksburg, we took the short drive
east of Hwy 16 known as the
Willow City Loop. You just never
know what you will see there - even when the bluebonnets
aren't blooming |

 |
The back roads are definitely more fun ...at least driving
the Corvettes - the bugs wouldn't agree |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the group stayed at the
Best Western in Fredericksburg.
We have stayed here as a group before and the staff was
always friendly - no so this time; very cold, unhelpful
and sometimes rude. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Friday Evening
Folks had time to clean the bugs, relax, swim,
etc after we arrived, before heading to dinner |
 |
Heading out for dinner, we saw a variety of Street Rods |
We had a private room reserved at the
Hill Top
Cafe |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |

|
|
|
|
|
The food was very good and good service; surprising
looking at the outside. Hint: do not use GPS - it is
NE of town not South |
