Gun Barrel City, Texas

Tuesday, March 27, 2012 Day 289

We stopped about 5 miles from our starting point at Texas Hill Country Furniture, just to take a look around.

There were lots of rockers on the porch, and comfortable gliders.

And a beautiful bathtub inside the store."Handcrafted of Texas Mesquite, requiring over 960 hours to make"....and costs about $8000. Too bad Howie's not big enough to pack this home!

Next door was a small restaurant, which served something Harris just had to try: fried pie. We ordered a peach one, and it was so delicious!

In the parking lot of the furniture store, there is the official World's Largest Rocking chair...25 feet, 10 and 1/2 inches tall, 12 feet 7 inches wide, weighing 5,672 pounds. Howie looks a little small by comparison.

One of the beautiful buildings we saw as we drove through Granbury, which had quite a large historic district.

After we set up our camp, Harris rode his bike back towards town to find 3 geocaches. Then he
grilled chicken and we enjoyed our dinner outside....still warm at 7 PM.

Sunset at the park...Lakeridge RV park in GunBarrel City.
