We stayed at Hickory Creek because it was close to our
friend, Ryan’s home in Frisco and he was going to spend some time with us
during our stay. We pulled in
mid-afternoon and had a site on the side of a hill that backed up to a mostly
dried up finger of the lake. Just as well, after our last experience!

Ryan came out on Thursday
mid-morning, spent some time catching up and went to lunch at Rudy’s – the
place Rudy’s Rub (yummy stuff!) comes from. It was a real kick – kind of like
an old country store with drinks iced down in huge coolers, big rolls of
butcher paper for plates, and the best BBQ you’d ever want to eat. We got two
kinds of brisket, some spicy sausage, creamed corn, baked beans, and Cole slaw.
When you get the meat by the ½ pound, you get several slices of bread, pick your
own condiments from pickled Jalapeno and cherry peppers, sliced onions, to
pickles, then you build your sandwich and use one of their two sauces – one has
lots of black pepper and the other, called sissy sauce, with a small amount of
pepper. We loved the full pepper one!

After lunch, Ryan ferried us around to do
some errands, then showed us his new home.
It’s beautiful, but while we were in the garage, I missed a step down and turned my ankle. Talk about feeling like a
dope! We spent some time at the house (me with an ice pack) and then headed
back to camp to have dinner. The next morning Ryan came back out and hooked up
our new wireless printer and got it to work with the iPad as well as my laptop!
We stopped for lunch at Cyclone Anaya’s Mexican Restaurant (marvelous food
there as well), then went back to camp for naps.

Saturday, we fixed eggs Benedict and Ryan
showed us his office, took us around to do a couple more errands, and came back
to camp. Ryan had commitments that evening and Sunday, so he took his leave. It
was great to see him, and we had a great time, but it seemed awfully empty when
he left.
Sunday was quiet and we did the
usual cleaning up and putting away to get ready to travel the following
day. It’s on to Waco to see Kevin and
his family.
