    A 10 thousand dollar watermelon!!!

    And several that went for 5,000 too!

    A day at Luling's Watermelon Thump. Interesting place and interesting people. If you are from Luling, you have a winner in that 55 year tradition

    So we are walking down the 300 yard stretch of the "thump" and hear an auction. Auctions are cool. 7500 now 7750 7750 now do I have 8! 8 now do we have 85........ 85........ 85 ...... 9! Do we have 9250.... 9250..... 95! Do we have 97, 97, 97, 9800! Give me 10 can I have 10 can I have 10? 10,000 SOLD! I asked Stacie if they had just auctioned a watermelon for $10,000!?

    We listened and they kept auctioning at 5K 3K for watermelon after watermelon. I left there thinking, "I really need to figure out how to buy some Luling land and grow watermelons. Heck, in Austin they only sell for 3 bucks!"

    Visit our trip......... THE GRAND LULING WATERMELON THUMP

    And on the way home, we did a little elk hunting and I actually got to see a mountain lion crouch to attack a bull elk!

        No, but I am sure it will be in the Luling paper tomorrow

        Here is the $10,000 Grand prize picture; by his button on his shirt and the $10,000 melon!
