Garner State Park, Easter 2015
We made it to Garner in about three hours. It was a pretty drive and the GPS took us the mostly flat route (good MPG)
Setup is fairly routine for us now. It took us less than fifteen minutes with (most) everybody helping.
Lunch the next day had us comparing La Barbecue (almost Franklin) to Schmidt Family (bee cave, tx). You can see the La Barbecue (bottom piece) is cut differently and it was much more tender. The La Barbecue was a bit salty, where the Schmidt seemed to be under salted and a bit tough.
We should note that the Schmidt Family BBQ ribs were excellent. Go to La Barbecue for brisket (if you can't get Franklin) and get ribs from Schmidt.
The Rio Frio still runs crystal clear.
He calls this game "rock stick".
Kat and I went on an afternoon hike up the mountain.
Happy Hour at the camp! I premixed blood orange margaritas (above).
He really liked the Big Red. Kat had brought it home from a SXSW party.
the cold, drizzly, grey weather was rolling in behind them.
We enjoyed the last bit of warmth and sunshine to be found that weekend. The Canadian Candle/Swedish Torch was fun to try. It did burn for hours and hours, but didn't really put out much heat.
Easter bunny rode by and threw candy at the kids.
Mostly, we spent the whole day around the fire.

Easter Sunday and our camp was scattered with colorful eggs. GO!
They got a nice haul of chocolate and Golden Dollar coins.
G'Bye Garner. Next time I'll remember to pack warm clothes. If the sun fails again I want to be prepared.
