Today we leave the wonderful state park in Bastrop . Unfortunately, we can not ride the peaceful,
park roads as they are ending a controlled burn which has necessitated the shut down of a section of the park road. It would have been a 20 plus mile ride through
gorgeous peaceful forested areas with no traffic. Instead we had to ride on the shoulder of route
71, a 4 lane divided high way with lots of high speed traffic. This day was absent any real highlights,
except the stop in Round Top. Round Top
has many old buildings that have been saved from various locations in Texas
and brought here for preservation. Most have
now been placed in service as a shop or other business. Being an interesting town is
not the real reason we stopped. We
stopped for Pie. Royers Café is noted
for their pie, with a selection of more than 15 different types to choose from,
and all very delicious. Joe, Chris and
Tom ordered the 4 slice sampler to share, complete with four scoops of very
good vanilla ice cream. It was all heavenly
good! Shortly, the rest of the group
joined in the pie feast and all enjoyed a piece of scrumptious pie. A well worth while stop, and yes, the
highlight of the day!
It is hard to believe that you only have 3 weeks to go to reach the Atlantic. Fantastic journey!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff! Only wish I could be sharing it with you and HP. Your white socks are serving me well. :-)
