dalthauser: (ROAD TRIP)
Sunday morning I was checking my email and browsing what "meetups" were being planned, and a group I didn't belong to was showing a meetup to the Maifest that day.  Sounded like fun, so I woke Sierra up and asked her if she wanted to go with me.  She just grunted.  I waited an hour and asked her again - she said okay.  A couple more hours later she actually got up and we headed out to Spring Branch.

IThis site is literally located at the end of Anhalt Road - once the regular road ended we were getting concerned that maybe the ad was posted by a serial killer who used this method to find new victims.  Not so since, finally, the property showed up.  It was a big barn, and it looks like they regularly did community events here.  It reminded me of the "old days" when that sort of thing was how people socialized.

The food was not very good, but how they served it was.  They had long picnic-style tables which you just sat yourself down at.  On the tables they had bowls of potatoes, peas, pot roast, saurkraut, and canned peaches. 

One thing I did notice is that most all the people were in their mid to late sixties and dressed/groomed themselves as thought they were in the country & western heyday of the 1970's. Teased hairdos, bolo ties, ultra ornate cowboy boots, and loads of makeup.   I don't mean to be unkind, but it was unnerving if not, in some cases, downright creepy.

I'm going to stay with my husband (I like saying that....haha) at the North Padre Island house over the long weekend (I'll be glad when we finally live 100% together, I really will.. Since he will be working most of the time I plan to do some serious hiking.  Gonna hike at Aransas Wildlife Preserve on Sunday and going to log some miles on North Padre Island beach Monday.  Then back up North to New Braunfels early Tuesday morning (he'll be up to me that same evening - what a crazy life.... haha).

What is everyone else doing on the long weekend?
