Excellent slideshow Robin...
My weekend was great. Started out Saturday morning with the bike already packed, alarm set and all I needed to do was roll out of bed, gear up and head to Crockett for pie. Somehow the snooze got pushed and I wound up leaving a bit, uh..... later than anticipated. Yet I was only about 20min 'fashionably' late and there were others behind me.
Had a nice straight shot up to Crockett in the chilly weather to arrive and see lots of familiar friendly faces. The chill of the day quickly wore off with friendship, conversation, and heartfelt hugs. As usual, the company can't be beat nor can the food. A quick checkout ensued and a Jerry and I geared/gassed up then headed to Mission Tejas State Park to spend the night for one of Beemerless Bob's campouts.
Upon arrival, we located wonderful spots then Jerry said "I'm going to head out and grab a few courthouses - want to tag along"? Sure! I'm always game if all I have to do is follow the guy with the GPS routes.... So we headed over to Nacodoches for Nacodoches County, then over to Center for Shelby County. With daylight starting to fade, we booked it down to San Augustine for San Augustine County, and figured we'd catch Angelina County in Lufkin on the way home. By Lufkin, it was dark, but we were treated to the courthouse lit up in lights! We fueled the bikes there, grabbed a snack and headed back to the campsite.
Along the way, the sun had been down quite a bit and I was wishing I had grabbed my heated vest. Sure did get a bit chilly. And then coming across 103, Jerry pulls over and his headlights point down a VERY dark dirt road with his GPS saying "...this way". Um..... in the dark and not familiar with the area, we oped to take the 45mile "known" route back to camp. When we finally got back to camp about 8pm, we were welcomed by 13 other campers and a roaring fire. Some adult beverages were consumed, stories and lies shared, and friendships made and solidified.
Sunday morning was great in that swoody prepared a wonderful breakfast of fruit soft tacos. That's about all I can come up with for a description, and they were wonderful THANK YOU!
Thomas and I then geared up and took the direct route back to Austin with the impending front giving us a change of wind and temperature along the way. THIS time, I had the vest on.
Got home about 3pm this afternoon and 627 miles on the clock.
Here's the four courthouse shots Jerry and I were able to grab for our project....
Nacodoches County
Smith County (the old courthouse)
San Augustine County
Angelina County
