We spent three nights at Union Grove COE (Corp of Engineers) campground on Stillhouse Hollow Lake near Salado, TX. It was interesting listening to Foot Hood's artillery booming and echoing Thursday afternoon and into the wee hours Friday morning.
We have been here a few times and we return to have schnitzel at Opa's. On Thursday we met RV friends John & Glynda there for lunch and spent 2 or 3 hours catching up. I forgot to get a picture. On Friday we returned for more schnitzel with my niece Haleigh and husband Dallas who live nearby.
In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

HitchHiker Hill Country Hideaway Rally
This is the seventh TX hill country rally we have attended, we missed only one in 2013 when Judy had her hips replaced. Your not going to see or read very much as this rally has been documented in the past. We really enjoy it due to the weather, location and friends. There were 23 rigs here this year. We did next to no sight seeing as we have been there done that. We do go out to eat though. Here we have just arrived and Connie and Dixie have stopped by to welcome us. The rally doesn't start for another week but several of our friends are here already. When we left 25 days later the trees had there leaves and were green, I should have taken another picture.
One afternoon we had a campfire and weenie roast down by Johnson Creek.

Another evening we had a potluck.
Another day some of us went to an old well known burger joint, the Alamo Café. It was REALLY out in the boonies. We have been here before, the atmosphere is good and so are the burgers. We arrived when they opened at 11am and before noon people were lined up waiting for a place to sit.
One picture I didn't get was from Classic Burger in Kerrville, we went there thee times. That should tell you something!
We also went to Llano to Coopers for their BBQ. They have about eight BBQ pits cooking and then bring some meat to one pit at the restaurant entrance where you select what and how much you want.
We all buy extra to take home. Some, Like Harry buy a lot more! That's Harry on the left and Stan on the right. Lee photo bombed the picture in the middle.
We really enjoyed our stay here, I got to play lots of poker with some of the guys. The weather was great and there were lots of happy hours. We made plans to attend next years rally but probably will be in a cabin.
