When I was a kid, and living in S. Georgia, we used crawdads as fish bait. Later on in life I learned in San Antonio how delicious they are. There was some restaurant along the River Walk that specalized in steamed crawdads. They went down wonderfull with a nice cool glass of sudds.

Martin came back a few minutes later and we had to adjust the load, which I didnt take pictures of but should have, it consisted of removing the camper top and dropping the single phoenix in nex to the double, and re attching the top,..martin called a few minutes ago to say all is well and he was on his way back to san angelo!

A big warm south Texas Thank you to Martin!

hope you make it back ok and thanks for the business!!
