When roadtripping the USA you should try to check out the capitol buildings of our great states.

We were being respectful but it seems we just can't get along with the law outside of CA.

On the run from the law we headed a little outside of town to check out the Pennybacker bridge.

Who knows maybe the Capitol police officer sensed we were all hopped up on caffeine from our morning excursion.

Vintage Heart on 7th street serves some good cold brew and the local version of a Bullet Coffee

Dave will post up the lost time from noon at the bridge until we left Austin around 3:15.

Next stop Marfa TX

We did get the FM transmitter from Radio Shack dialed in so we have some roadtrip music via a circa 2006 NANO.

Has anyone been to Marfa?

We enjoyed our time in Austin and had good coffee, grub and beer (not that in that order necessarily).

One of the best brisket concoctions I have ever tasted. Seriously. The brisket Frito Pie.

And yeah... Marfa.... I saw this story on it 60 minutes a couple years ago and was glad Gerno reminded me about it. It has not disappointed so far.. although we really don't know what we are dealing with here yet. Maybe some clarity will present itself tomorrow when we head back into town.

Based on a few looks I got I don't think my artistic shirt was thought too highly of in these parts.

I had numerous flashbacks of the movie Natural Born Killers driving on some of these desolate back roads and thru the small towns. This hotel seemed to fit.
