Day 4 - Lockhart, Texas to El Paso, Texas

LOCKHART, Texas -- We're connecting now from Raymond's Barber Shop, where Raymond is hooking Martin up with a $10 Texas haircut.

We camped out last night at a state park, surrounded howling coyotes and drenched in enough moonlight to make it hard to sleep. We woke up at about 8, packed up the campsite and headed to Smitty's Market, where we ate brisket, sausage and ribs for breakfast. It was unbelievably good, and the ribs were definitely better than the ones we had in Memphis.

we took off for a walk around downtown to let the food settle before we hit Kreuz's Market, which is supposed to be the best barbecue in Lockhart, which is the heart of the Texas Barbecue Trail.

So now we're sitting at Ray's, where he and Martin are discussing the differences between Virginia and Texas barbecue, the time they came into town to film Hard Promise, and the high school football games.

After Kreuz's, we'll be hitting the road for El Paso or maybe Las Cruces, depending on the time we make.
