Heiro,

I got some beer battered pollack fillets that I can give you guys.  I probably have 10 lbs worth.  I will give them to Bryant when he comes and picks up the 40 lbs of Danish baby back ribs I have set aside for you guys.

Any chance of you getting a job over at Spiral Diner in the near future?

[MurDuc]

Have we narrowed it down to peanut oil? Quantity pleeze??

Anywhere that sells turkey fryers (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.) should have the big jugs of oil for frying a turkey somewhere near them. I want to say they are 4 gallon jugs, but I am not for sure. Turkeys provide a lot of displacement, so those might be less.

We would want 4 gallons.

[svoloch]

Are we sure we shouldn't be leaving wedn. night?  It would literally add one more night of drinking.  give it some thought, because I am concerned that we are not allowing enough time in the trip for drink and smack talk.

Directions to Koyote Ranch

From Kerrville (This route is recommended for autos & motorcycles only)

Hwy 16 has consistently been placed on Texas Monthly’s “10 Most Scenic Drives in Texas” list.  The drive from Kerrville to Koyote Ranch includes much of this beauty, but it also includes almost 5 miles of switchback turns, which rival any mountain road in America.  While this is a beautiful drive, it is not recommended for most RVs.  Take Hwy 16 south out of Kerrville, set your odometer at zero as you cross the Guadalupe River in Kerrville.  About 9 miles out of town you will begin your climb to a local landmark known as the Eagle’s Nest.  As you begin to come off the hill, Koyote Ranch Hill Country is on the right (west) approximately 14.2 miles from the river bridge in Kerrville.

From Kerrville (RV Route) 

The easiest drive with an RV from Kerrville to the Ranch is approximately 20 minutes longer.

Take the Hwy 16 (Kerrville) exit off I-10. Go south towards Kerrville. Approximately .5 miles take Loop 534 East to Hwy 173 (approximately 4.5 miles). Proceed south towards Bandera. Approximately 10 miles south of town you will come to historic Camp Verde.  Proceed south approximately 2 miles and turn right (west) on Hwy 2828.  After about 10 miles, turn right (north) on Hwy 16 and proceed 2.5 miles to Medina.  (Note: Hwy 2828 will dead end into Hwy 16.)  Medina is home to the Texas International Apple Festival - and a great place to get one of the best apple turnovers in the world. Continue north out of Medina approximately 6 miles where the Medina Children’s Home is your next landmark. Koyote Ranch Hill Country is 1.8 miles north of Medina Children’s Home on the west side of Hwy 16. 

These directions seem to come out of SA on I-10.  Be sure to check your own directions with google or yahoo
