Burnet Bus Trip

Posted on March 12, 2014 by Todd White

What do you call 50 daytrippers on a bus, cruising the Hill Country, eating BBQ, and stomping through caves? A DANG GOOD TIME.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of leading a bus tour to Burnet, Texas. We stopped at the eagle’s nest on Hwy 29 between Burnet and Llano, we ate BBQ at the Burnet Feed Store, we sampled wine at Perissos Vineyards, and then capped it off with a tour and dinner at Longhorn Cavern State Park. It was an incredible time. I’m always amazed at how fun the folks are that watch our program. And I think I end up having just as much fun (or more) than they do.

Below are some pictures from the day.

Daytrippers!

I’ve got some exciting news. On Saturday, March 2, we are taking our second official “Day Trip with The Daytripper”. It’s a full-on day trip with ME embarking on an epic barbeque tour and I want YOU to come along for the ride.

We’ll be making stops at Snow’s BBQ, Southside Market and Louie Mueller BBQ. Pitmasters from each of these great Texas “Q” joints will be providing us with an exclusive behind the scenes tour on what makes their smoked meats so heavenly. And along the way we’ll be throwing in some surprises!

Tickets are $125 per person and includes transportation, food and non-alcoholic beverages during the tour. Tickets can be purchased by clicking on the “BUY NOW” button below. The tour will be departing from a central location in the Austin area around 8:30 AM in the morning and will return around 4:00 PM. Details will be emailed to all participants one week prior to the trip. All tickets are 100% non-refundable but are transferable to another person. Event will go on, rain or shine.

I hope to see you there. Keep on trippin!
