First Stop - Thurber (Ghost Town)
As you can imagine, we didn't see a whole lot here. There's a big old stack, across from the restaurant with a sign that said "Restaurant". But then there's the Thurber Cemetery. After going through the gate to the road up to the cemetery (don't forget to tie the rope that secures the gate), we found this well-maintained old (and new) cemetery with some educational signage.
Baby Head Cemetery (near Llano)
Named after a grisly act, this was another small, old cemetery with a lot of sticker burrs (according to Lexi). The (photo prop) dolls were already there and we didn't touch them, I swear.

Llano Earth Arts Festival (LEAF)
When we checked into the B&B, the owner mentioned the leftovers of LEAF were still kicking. Apparently people flew in from far and wide for the rock stacking competition. Pretty cool stuff.

Llano Abandoned Rail Car
OK, so maybe not so much abandoned, as placed adjacent to the visitor center, at the end of the railroad line, near the Dabbs Hotel. But it was still that kinda small town thing where they put something potentially dangerous in a public area and practically dare you to figure out how to climb up on the thing and avoid the numerous wasp nests within.

Joe's Bar and Grill
Quality bar on the square in Llano. This was my view from the men's room (consisted of only a trough). The non-ironic deer head meets ironic graffiti.

Badu House B&B
We stayed one night in this B&B in a former bank building. We had the run of the place - no one else was staying there that night. We peeked into every room! Lexi was very excited by the toilets with the raised tanks and long pull chains.
