Texas Waffles

We went to a breakfast buffet at a university here on Sunday, and you could make your own waffles AND the griddles were shaped like the state of Texas! See photo of my Texas waffle below.

We got ourselves one of the big round iron cauldrons that the park provides for campfires, and we are getting a half-pickup full of dry live oak for 40 bucks so we can have us some fires at night. There is a real saloon here in the park and it has a nice big old fire pit on the patio about 3 feet high. It is round and made out of the local stone slabs, which are kind of a chalky creamy-white and brownish color.

Some of the boys in the park went out wild pig hunting yesterday. The pigs are a real problem down here and are destroying the land, so there are private properties that offer pig hunting. The one they went to is free, and you pay the owner $75 if you get a pig. I guess the guys just go sit in blinds alone for hours on end, even into the night, and the pigs come in for mash that is thrown out for them. Sounds kind of boring, but they did get one pig anyway.
There are some really weird place names around here
