He had some great stuff.

Wow! I know the area well. Isn't it a shame just thinking about everything that was destroyed in the Bastrop fires? I remember going there after the replanting of trees and restoration projects and every single rock on the ground was fire popped and shattered. Everything. Seen a lot of great stuff come from that same area before the fires.
