Friday, May 13, 297 miles, departing 9 am

This is not the Coopers in Llano
We will depart Love's Truck Stop in Midlothian, TX at 9 am. We'll pass through Cleburne and Meridian before stopping in Hamilton for a short break. Our next stop will be Cooper's BBQ in Llano for lunch. We'll enjoy the Willow City Loop before seeking ice cream at Fredericksburg. (Video here) Some may opt to spend some more time in Fredericksburg and make a late arrival to Junction. I will eat my ice cream and continue to Junction. Anything works. At 8 pm, we will gather at La Familia to enjoy some Mexican Food.

Isaac's Breakfast Spot in Junction

We will depart the Rodeway Inn at 8 am on the way to tour the Three Twisted Sisters. You will need to have eaten and fueled up previous to departure. Our meandering trip south will stop at Camp Wood for a quick break and walk around. After leaving Camp Wood, we'll roll over to Garner State Park to take a quick look-see. (There is a fee for entering the State Park). Lunch will take place at Lost Maples Cafe in Utopia. The Vanderpool museum is an option for the trip back to Junction. If we have too many to eat lunch at Lost Maples, there is another cafe in town plus the Lost Maples store is just down the road. (Additionally, the museum advertises it has burgers.)

Saturday night, we'll eat at Isaac's at 8 pm. They're known for their country cooking with recommendations toward their Chicken Fried Steak and onion rings.
