Day Trip to Lampasas ???? (FULL EPISODE) S12 E1
This region of Texas is a little bit Hill Country, a little bit Wild West and 100% Texan. It's a place with deep roots, hidden history and steaming schnitzels.
Lampasas County Museum is full of relics from the past, including the building — which was an old sheet metal shop! Learn about the days when Lampasas was a little rough around the edges. During the Wild West, this town had 36 different saloons! This museum’s got it all, from antique guns to modle steam trains.
Since we filmed this episode, the World’s Largest Spur has found a new home in Abilene, Kansas.
Stop by the oldest bath house in Texas to see the ruins of the luxury of yesteryear. Back in the 1800s, folks flocked to Lampasas to take a dip in the historic “healing” sulfuric springs at bath houses and hotels just like this one.
Rustler’s Junction is furniture store with a very wacky sense of design. Lining the walls are all sorts of odd and unique decorations from decorative critters and dinos made of iron. But my absolute favorite part is all of the taxidermy!
Eve & Steve grew up in Germany and landed in Lampasas after retirement — and they brought with them their delicious German cookin’. Fill up on their signature schnitzel or bratwurst with curried ketchup, and don’t forget the beer! Prost! PS — just hope you aren’t afraid of puppets…the walls of this cafe are lined with marionettes!
Alfredo’s is a full experience! Sitting on the banks of a swamp and surrounded by stationary creatures, you might just feel like you’re at some sort of amusement. But kooky décor aside, the menu is full of your favorite Tex Mex classics and the deep fried jalapenos appetizer is to die for! I highly suggest you get their queso and the Enchilada Flag plate with green, white, and red sauce enchiladas!
Storm’s Drive-In opened in 1950 and it’s been a town hangout ever since. It’s even rumored to be a favorite spot of Elvis’s when he was stationed at Fort Hood. And it’s where you can get the semi-secret house specialty of a Frosted Dr Pepper. Yum!
Here in Texas, there’s nothing we love more than Tex-Mex and barbecue — and Young’s Burritos and BBQ is mixing these in the most delicious of ways. Order a burrito filled with moist brisket, crisp pico and spicy verde sauce at this family-owned joint for possibly the most Texan meal on the planet!
For centuries, people have traveled from far and wide to experience these healing springs — and though they’re no longer a hot-spot for swimming, they’re still really cool to see!
This is the place to make a splash in Lampasas! Since 1911, folks have enjoyed the chilly 69 degree spring-fed waters — in fact, it’s one of the oldest spring-fed pools in Texas — older than Barton Springs! Take a dip and let the “healing” waters work their magic…
In this whimsical garden, art meets nature and dreams meet reality. Make your way through the 22 interactive art pieces by local artist Nancy Gray for a wonderfully weird and fun afternoon!

Day Trip to Midland ???? (FULL EPISODE) S10 E9
Midland is more than just wide open spaces and an endless sea of natural resources, it's a beacon that stands tall as the Texas spirit. Spend a day here and you'll find it's also flowing with endless adventures.
Inside the Petroleum Museum, you’ll find amazing interactive displays about the history of oil in the Permian Basin — you’ll even see the Chapparral Race Car, which forever changed both the racing and auto industries. Outside is the largest collection of drilling rigs in the world.
Tour this little house that was home to some BIG Texas personalities: two presidents, two governors and a first lady. Check out George W. Bush’s childhood room in the early 1950s…and you can even see the Bush’s bushes.
At Heroes Meals, you’re guaranteed a meal you won’t find anywhere else in Midland — or West Texas for that matter. Homemade Iraqi food is served up with hand-mixed teas, making for one flavorful meal. If you’re not sure where to start, I suggest the combo shawarma and Jamaican tea with fresh pineapple and ginger.
Sweeten up your day trip with a stop at Susie’s. What started as a small pecan grove on the south forty acres of a friend’s ranch, became home to Susie’s homemade toffee and famous Texas Trash ,a tasty mixture of white chocolate, cereal, pecans and pretzels.
After a long day, grab a cold one at this greenhouse-turned-beer garden. When hunger strikes, you can get some grub at the food trailer onsite. A ground brisket burger and homemade jalapeno poppers with “angry mayo” are the way to go.
Sandwiched between the derricks and Interstate 20 is one of Midland’s best kept secrets — a natural wetland teeming with birds and plant life. This 100-acre wild space is an awesome place to spend the afternoon getting lost.

Day Trip to Port Isabel ???? (FULL EPISODE) S10 E11
Port Isabel has one of the best beaches in Texas -- and it's not even on the coast! Dive into all the tropical fun you need for a coastal getaway in one of the oldest towns in South Texas.
At the center of the city, this lighthouse shines like a beacon to all those who travel to Port Isabel. And though it’s light stopped glowing in 1905, it’s still one of the best spots to get an incredible view of town.
In the historic general store is a museum with artifacts that prove that this town has been a summer resort destination since the 1800s. Next door at the Treasures of the Gulf museum, you can also wander through exhibits full of treasures from sunken Spanish Ships.
One of the most diverse habitats in Texas, this 98,000 acre wilderness is home to over 400 bird species and rare animals, like the endangered ocelot. Grab your binoculars and start exploring!
Sadly, since filming, Manuel’s has permanently closed after 37 years of business.
Eating seafood on the coast is a must, and there’s no better place than at a fish market like Los Tortugo’s where the seafood dishes are served as fresh as they come. While they will cook whatever you catch, I highly suggest ordering their famous ceviche that’s made with a recipe so secret, that only a chosen few are allowed to make it.
Since the water in the Port Isabel bay is saltier than the ocean, the bayfishing here is world-class. But to truly catch a whopper, you need Captain Curry to show you the sweet spots where you’ll find the biggest fish in the bay.

Weekend Getaway in Lampasas
Join us for a restful weekend in Lampasas, TX!
Looking for a short getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a quiet oasis? Lampasas, on the northeastern edge of the Texas Hill Country, is just that.
Only a few hours from Dallas (an hour and a half from Austin) sits this sleepy town known for its mineral springs and spacious skies. Many opt to visit one of the local health spas, but we opted to visit a winery (there are a few) and hang around the ranch to enjoy the quiet. Check out our other video about our side trip to Colorado Bend State Park!
We stayed at (and LOVED): Tyson's Corner Retreat Cottage:
We visited (and recommend): Texas Legato Winery:

We recently finished a weeklong RV camping trip to Barefoot Fishing Camp and RV park in the small Texas community of Bend, Texas.

Barefoot Fishing Camp and RV Park is a privately owned campground that has 37 pull-thru RV sites and several primitive, or tent camping sites.
And, you will have to unplug and be without cell service and internet while you’re camping here. For reservations, visit the website below.

US 281 Lampasas to Evant - Prerecorded presentation
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is proposing to widen US 281 from US 183 (Lampasas) to the Hamilton County Line (Evant) in Lampasas and Coryell Counties, Texas. The project proposes to widen US 281 between US 183 (Lampasas) and the Hamilton County Line (Evant) with two additional travel lanes for a total of four lanes (two lanes in each direction), improve safety by separating traffic with a grassy median, and add median crossovers to facilitate access to and from both sides of the highway. Exact median crossover locations have not yet been determined. A narrower roadway section may be considered at specific locations with significant existing constraints. The total length of the project is approximately 28 miles.
US 183 N Lampasas County Public Meeting Presentation
TxDOT is proposing a project to widen US 183 N from Lometa to Lampasas from a Super-Two highway (two-lane highway with passing lanes) to a four-lane highway with a center turn lane.
