The sky was getting quite dark during our pit-stop at What-A-Burger. With 20 miles into the day the majority of folks treated themselves to hot lemon pies - next stop, LUNCH!

It was very overcast and windy, which kept it from being hot. We got a few raindrops but no major downpours.

We arrived to our lunch destination - EARLY. Thanks to the folks at the Rockett Cafe for opening the doors and letting us in. The burgers here are the best!

David was "steaming" when he pulled in. Nothing that water added to the radiator after lunch didn't cure. Three T's headed back to Dallas after lunch having enjoyed the morning stroll.

Meet Lorne. He and his wife own Hi-View Farm. They raise Corgi dogs, zebras, camels, mini-donkeys and have a variety of exotic pets. See the limb in Lorne's hand? That is to keep the swan in the water, and the amorous camels at a "limbs length".

Their exotic pets include ten adult lemurs and three babies. When we first arrived these guys were up in the rafters of the shed. Lorne gave us grapes to feed them.

When the lemurs got bored with the grapes, out came the bag of marshmallows - which proved to be the favorite treat.
