Austin, TX Area 3-25 through 3-27-09

We left the Gulf of Mexico this morning and drove to Georgetown, TX, about 30 miles north of Austin. Here is a view of Austin from I-35.
Taylor, TX is 25 miles from Georgetown and is home to a famous BBQ called Louie Mueller's. Very Texas. This was another recommendation from Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. We arrived just as they were closing at 6 pm and got the last of the brisket and sausages - delish. Had a nice conversation with a couple from Greensboro, NC, who had seen it on D, D, and D, too.
We drove to Taylor through a thunderstorm, but didn't realize until we got there that there were tornado watches and some much fiercer weather nearby. This is what followed. The photo does not do the vividness justice.
While seeking the perfect photo of the rainbow, we found this darling county park just down the road from where we were staying. Those are pecan trees. The settler to whom this park is named is an ancestor of Audey Murphy.
