The weather was perfect this weekend for camping on the Rio Frio at Garner State Park in central Texas hill country. This cypress tree-lined river is crystal clear and perfect temperature for some pristine swimming. I think it's the clearest river water I have swam in in Texas! I could swim and swim upstream, like 150 strokes and never go anywhere...the current was just right!! The stars were incredible too as it was the new moon and no city lights....sitting on the river bank gazing at the milky way and listening to the music of the rio while the guys threw in a fishing line and caught a catfish was over the top!!! Here we were in a state park, fishing and noone had a fishing license....how do I always end up hanging with the bad boys?
It seems that most of the activity centered around the firepit as Hank and Noble proceeded to COOK several amazing gourmet meals!! Tuna sashimi for horsdouvers, shark tacos, beans, steak, polish sausage, apple delights (from Noble's apple farm) and salads and vegetables, all fresh from the local farmers market. I like camping with these guys, they planned, cooked, cleaned and packed!!
Good grill design, nice adjustable heavy duty grill
Now that's a Texas-sized steak!
