We went down to the Bluebonnett after the riders hit the road. At 0930 the place was packed and had an hour wait. We decided to go up the street to a Mexican restaurant and had a killer breakfast of ? Miejetos (sp?), sort of like a breakfast Mexican omelet with crumbled up chips in it... it was very good.


I looked at some of the caches very near where we were. They look wonderful, thankyouverymuch. arrrrgg. There is always next time.

know, Marble Falls is the place where all the UT people retire. I am sure
there are some great caches around there.. Easy ones too! :-)
