Looks like a MOOTMag destination ride to me... 

Thanks for the bat colony tip, that sounds very interesting.  Will miss your company!

I guess if you were not there you may not have a home to come back to! I understand, you have to take care of the family.

Yes, the train tunnel/bat cave is pretty neat. There are a crap load of bats in that little bitty tunnel. The ranger gives a nice talk about the tunnel and the bats while you wait for them to come out. They have those Mexican freetail bats timed down to a few minutes of when they will take off each night. It looks like a trail of smoke going for miles into the evening sky once they get going.

I seem to recall that it is a county road, but it was paved all the way to the parking lot. You have to walk way down the hillside to get to the viewing area. Coming home in the dark is the real adventure.

Not the same place, Dave.  The tunnel is north of Center Point.  The cave I am talking about is SE of Concan.  The old RR tunnel was interesting, but the spectacle at Concan puts it to shame!

In the "for what it is worth" department, my buddy and I tried all the barbecue we could get our mouths around, starting Wednesday evening at Cooper's in Llano.  Everyone's tastes differ, of course, but we judged the best to be from "Two Fat Boys" in Camp Wood.  Just saying...

Looks like we will be making a stop at Fat Boys, looks to be in a Red building.

Lawrence,

50-100 folks at your place for a high school graduation party?  Heck, 10-15 middle aged guys who haven't showered in 3 days will barely be noticed!  What night is the party?  Did I understand that you are serving bbq and bringing in a bunch of bats for some early evening entertainment?  This could turn into one of the best Mootmags ever!

Just kidding.  You will be missed.  Although I have heard many of your stories, seems like you always have a new one or two that are very interesting.   I'm sitting here thinking about you meeting Albert Einstein and the one about Texaco (Exxon?) inadvertently drilling on your old neighbor's land.  Great stuff.

Hope to see you somewhere/sometime before MM 15.

where have these guys been hiding? Last time I was in Camp Wood, the locals kept sending me to the Mexican restaurant.

Dave, as you ride into Camp Wood on 337, Two Fat Boys is on the right a block or two before the intersection.  There is a bar & grill just past it to the west, which gets more business because, I suspect, they serve beer...

It is set back a bit from the road, and has nice trees in front, with tables for outside dining.  They also  have inside space.

Only one Fat Boy left at this point, along with his wife.  Nice folks.

PM your address and amount I need to send so I can put a check in the mail Dave.
