It's 7:58 am, and we're doing the final check of "what'd we forget!" All that's left to do is hook Harvey and Smarty up (that takes all of about 60 seconds with our amazing Sterling hitch!) and head down US 175 toward Nacogdoches, Tx which has the distinction of being the town where the Marx Brothers act was born. You can Google that for details or copy and paste this:

After that, we'll keep heading in a Southerly direction until we reach the Sam Rayburn Reservoir, where we'll set up for the night, on the way down to Lafayette, Louisiana on Saturday. The land of Crawfish, Zydeco, and great, friendly people who sound almost like they're from New York (with an Acadiana twist of course). Food? Well tonight we'll most likely "eat in", since we'll be at the lake. Probably a cook out with hot dogs (yes! we're health nuts but we still eat hot dogs sometimes, especially if they're Heart Brand http://www.heartbrandbeef.com/). It's very similar to Kobe. They have very little saturated fat and most of that is the "healthy" kind, like in olive oil. They still do have a little bit of nitrites...but we'll overlook that because they taste so good!! Unfortunately it isn't yet available everywhere (we are lucky Texans!), but check the website because a lot of restaurants all over the country who care about what they serve are beginning to order it. We'll check in later, from the road.
