We apologize for the delay in posting this last visit.  I blame the meat stupids (an condition discovered by Matt Wallis where, after eating lots of meat, you become extra stupid)

Anyway, the last stop on our first trip was to Davis Grocery in Tayor.  We had stopped by on our way out of Taylor earlier and really felt like we needed to come back and visit.

James Davis the proprietor was a gracious host and we had a good chat with him.  I was too full of meat from Snow’s and honestly not feeling that great so had to pass on his BBQ but Matthew Johnson had some good reviews.

We then made it home and after 10-12 hours sleep all felt somewhat more normal.  After weighing ourselves it looks like we lost some of the weight we gained after the first few days on the road.  I credit this to our very strange version of the atkins diet where we survived on very small amounts of meat (we learned portion control about mid-week) and lone star.

We are now looking at where we need to go next to make this complete and start editing.  Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Nomad on Sunday and thanks to all of those who have donated at kickstarter.  We are almost halfway there and could use all the help we can get!

More soon on whats next and where this is all heading, for now here are a couple of picks from Davis Grocery in Taylor.

Delicious Meats


We are very tired and our camping plans have been foiled by the rain but we are lucky that a friend is giving us a place to crash in Taylor.

After Mueller’s, we went to Taylor Cafe and met the owner Vencil.  Yet another great place with an incredible history, can’t wait to see the footage from this one.  Vencil is 86 and has been in that spot for over 50 years.  So awesome, he gets two photos in this one.

Unfortunately, other regulars at the bar kept us occupied with beers and jokes and we didnt get over to Davis Grocery until a little late, but we are going to come back.  Mr. Davis was gracious and kind and also makes an excellent brisket.  We are scheduling a trip to come visit him  next time out.

Elgin tomorrow, wish us luck (and our colons)
