Day at Inks Night at Luckenbach

March 27, 2007

We drove to Inks Lake State Park. This park has lots of sites for campers and plenty of hiking trails to keep visitors happy. We stopped in the headquarters’ building and there was Ranger Brandy at the desk; she had been our contact at LBJ last season and has a new position here at Inks. We chatted a bit then found ourselves a little spot to hang for a while. We were right next to the lake with ducks coming right up to the Roadtrek for a snack. Will worked on recaulking the back windows and Kathy did some internetting then together they washed the Roadtrek. We sat under a tree and enjoyed some lunch then headed out. The Hill Country is beautiful country with rolling hills, windy roads, and little towns scattered about. We past the Buchanan Dam, and drove through Llano where we turned onto route16. Past lots of open land and we drove into Fredericksburg where we filled up on gas. The price is going up for gas; most places it was $2.43, but we got it for $.2.35. Then it was off to Luckenbach where the Lone Star Pickers were playing. That is Dale Mayfield as host and lots of pickers and jammers join him. Tonight we had Levi on guitar and fiddle, Porfi on accordion, Danny Terry on guitar, Jeff Jefferies on harmonica, Hal Brown on harmonica and flute, and a few others that joined in on guitar and washtub bass drum. Bob and Dolly, volunteers from LBJ, joined us for a spell. Always good spending time with friends. We picked up Dale’s CD he put out this past June. It was a good night of live music. We stayed till everyone was played out; we then went home for Catch Me If You Can, a move about a young man that pretended to be a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer writing bad checks all over the country. It was based on a true story.
