Everything has been check thrice. The Kid has been briefed to take care of the house and cats, to include much to his dismay, petting the cats. Everything loaded into the trusty Rubicon for both mine and Paulette’s adventure, there really is nothing left to do but drive.

We set out a day early to not only break up the drive just a little bit but to put an end to the stress of, “whatever do I need to bring “.

Rolled thru Llano Texas right at supper time so of course we stopped at Coopers BBQ (arguably some of the best on the planet) Sorry, no foodie photo’s, we were to hungry. Made a nice sunset cruise thru Central Texas making it to Lubbock around 11PM.
