The wife and I took a short vacation to Lake Brownwood state park in Texas, we booked an old stone cabin that was orginally the blacksmiths shop used when the CCC built the state park starting in the early 30's.
The surprise (outside of the fantastic stone buildings and pavilion the boys built out of local rock) was the BBQ pit the blacksmiths cobbled together for to do BBQ.
Starting with the smoker (and some random guy in the picture...me) and then some of the CCC stone work and some plaques talking about the CCC and showing the boys.
Also of interest was the fact that there was a military training base near there and the GI's used the pavilion and lake while on leave.
Not shown here but there were pictures of the ballroom packed tight with soldiers and local gals dancing and making woopie!
