About this episode

The episode discusses BBQ in Elgin, the new Palo Pinto Canyon State Park, and the various ways rattlesnakes can bite.

This month we reminisce about the wonderful experience we had in Elgin, the Sausage Capital of Texas, especially at Southside, where they have an old school sauce that takes Daniel back to his youth. We also discuss the new state park, Palo Pinto Canyon, and realize that there are a lot of ways a rattlesnake can bite you.
