  1. That’s probably the place. We had a hunting lease out by Sweetwater all throughout the 2000s and ate many meals on the front and back ends of hunting trips. Outside of Perini Ranch and some Tex Mex spots, most of our meals are out at my friends’ ranch the last few years.
  2. I probably have the name wrong (I’m old ever) but there was a Catfish place I’ve eaten in Abilene that was very good.
  3. Damn....a bunch of city slickers dissing on one of my favorite Texas towns. I usually cook out at my buddies ranch between Abilene and Albany but have had many great meals over the years in Abilene. Best is the aforementioned Perini Ranch in Buffalo Gap but Catfish Corner and a 1/2 dozen good hole-in-the-wall Mexican food places have been spots for good meals.
  4. Only thing I’ll add is definitely plan a good beach day, rent some boogie boards, etc.. My kids can spend 1/2 day at beach and never get bored with riding waves, catching mole crabs, or just walking up and down the beach picking up shells and cool rocks. Our favorite beaches are Del Mar, Fletcher Cove at Solana Beach, or any of the Encinitas beaches. Great restaurants all up and down the 101 in that stretch of coast.

    Austin has a woefully poor number of options for a city of this size. Best I’ve found is Phoenicia on south Lamar. Good quality but you have to sit outside on one of the two-seater tables as they have no inside seating.
  6. I make a quarterly trip to El Rancho Mercado at 183 and Ohlen Road. Guajillos, ancho, chipotle meco, chipotle morita, pasilla, and seasonal supply of pequin. They have bins of dried peppers and on the end of aisle near produce, they have peppers in large bags that I find fresher for guajillo and ancho. Their marinated skirt steak absolutely kicks ten kinds of ass too.
  7. As others have stated try to avoid interstates, I’d suggest to plan most of your trip up to Montana off interstate highways. So much better country to view as interstates almost always follow most level routes/easiest paths to engineer. Del Rio, Langtry, Marathon, Alpine, Fort Davis, (small stretch of I-10) Van Horn, Guadalupe Mountains NP, Artesia, Cloudcroft, Alamogordo, White Sands, Carizozo, Vaughn, Santa Fe, Taos, Great Sand Dunes NP, Salida, Buena Vista, Antero, Fairplay, Breckenridge, Frisco, Kremmling, Steamboat Springs, Craig, Dinosaur NM, Vernal, Red Canyon, Green River, Fontenelle, Pinedale, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, West Yellowstone, Ennis, Bozeman, White Sulphur Springs, Lewistown, Big Sandy, and Harve. Use interstates to return or a thousand other non-interstate routes on the return. Blue Highways rule.
  8. I don’t think Texas has an active walleye program. Oklahoma Wildlife Department tried some stockings in multiple lakes back in the 1970s, some successful, some not at all. Broken Bow has a sustainable population but the best walleye lake in Oklahoma is Canton Lake, northwest of OKC. You can actually target walleye at Canton. In Broken Bow, they are usually an accidental catch and not a dense population where you can target. By far the most caught there is springtime when they make a run up the river on upper end of the lake.
  9. If you’re in Broken Bow and want to catch a ton of fish between beer sessions, drive north on Hwy 259 about thirty miles until you see a large river on your right side (east). Pull over and park, walk down to river and cast any lure that is gray or white. Both white bass and walleye will be both be running up the river this time of year. The white bass run above Broken Bow is unbelievably good with not much competition (aside from meth-crazed hill billies on occasion).
  10. I’ll confirm the above. My in-laws had a place in Hamilton and on the drive up, Storms used to be our go-to spot until we tried Brad’s. Also, IMO the Storms in Hamilton is better than Lampasas location.
  11. It’s been a few years since I stopped but the Dinner Bell in Muleshoe was tip-top old school diner/cafe. Great hamburger steak with lots of onions. These places always remind me of spots my grandparents would know about and love on road trips. Unfortunately, they are fewer and farther between now, and most the quality sucks. I may have to stop by Dinner Bell on my return trip from New Mexico this spring.
  12. 1. Bone-in Cowboy Ribeye from Star Canyon in Dallas back in the 90s. I swear that dish had a halo hovering over it when brought to the table. 2. Damn near every dish at La Choza in Santa Fe. 3. Sweet corn from Chino’s Farms in Rancho Santa Fe, CA.
  13. For hiking in Arkansas, check out one of Tim Ernst guide books: http://timernst.com/Products/AHT.html I’m originally from Tulsa and wish I could offer some advice with regard to restaurants but too many years away to offer any accurate recommendations. Utica Square area neighborhood and Philbrook Museum are really nice that time of year as all the dogwoods and redbuds should be in full bloom. Philbrook is an incredible place. Pawhuska isn’t much to write home about but surrounding area is really nice. The Nature Conservancy’s tallgrass prairie preserve is near there and Ted Turner’s ranch is close by. They both have large buffalo herds and it’s a good place to drink firewater and yell “Tatonka!”
  14. One of these days, when I’m rich and famous (or at least until kids are out of college), I’m going to buy one of Leucadia Custom Knives wares:
  15. Definitely ski. They've had good snow this year. You'll have a good two years. Take up fly fishing as there are dozens of great small streams within a two hour drive of Santa Fe.
  16. I’ll bet OU’s entire defensive staff will be there with crisp resumes in hand.
  17. Man, Jerry Ball was a beast! Whenever I hear some coach say 'so and so' defensive lineman is too short to play here, I think of the same dumbass who would pass a Jerry Ball. Dude was like 5'10" and the most dominant defensive lineman in college football when he played.
  18. Split your week between Oaxaca and Huatulco. You’ll love both. Also, there are quite a few Italian expats in Huatulco, so do not miss the Italian restaurants in La Crucecita.
  19. Dammit! Santa Fe Bite is closing: http://www.sfreporter.com/news/2018/09/19/santa-fe-bite-to-close-october-26/ The best cheeseburger in the free world.
  20. That’s awesome! I’d be up for a trip even with the rain. Damn sure looks like a good spot to escape the Texas heat in the middle of August.
  21. I vote for a pan pizza thread. My first try a while back was decent with a side of meh. The above looks fantastic.
  22. Boots Burger in Rockwall used to be badass. I haven't had one in years though. About as old-school as it gets.
  23. Just saw this article. Totally figures... This quote from the article is total bullshit too from a talent perspective: “Normally when you replace a legend, someone like Barry who had accomplished so much, you take over a program that’s in very good shape,” said Gibbs in 1994. “In our case, we took over a program with extremely high expectations but which was basically a hellhole." When Gibbs took over, OU had Mike Gaddis, Joe Bowden, Glyn Milburn, Jason Belser, Reggie Barnes, Ricky Brady, who all played extensively in the NFL, along with about ten other guys who were in the NFL for at least a few years. Along with that, OU had both offensive and defensive lines filled with All Big 8 players. He had NCAA sanctions for his first two years with no TV or bowl games, but talent in the program was extremely high. Gibbs was as dull as a board and didn't give two shits about any of his players. On top of that, he had all of Barry Switzer's coaching staff intact before running most of those guys off. I've never seen a coach throw more people under the bus in an effort to save his own reputation.
  24. 20th and 25th Street in Del Mar are great spots to hit the beach. 25th has lifeguard tower with bathrooms. Crash and Gil hit all the high points. Only thing else I’ll add is running up to Leucadia to Fish 101...freshest fish in town as the owners know damn near all the boat captains. They’ve been killing the blue fin tuna lately and with warm waters, mahi are showing up locally. Oh...and go buy a bunch of T-shirts, hats, and stuff from my buddy J.P. at Surfy Surfy. Good dude. PS - Stone Delicious IPA on tap is aptly named.
  25. Saw this today and thought of this thread: https://instagram.com/p/BmOG2Wjn5Il/
