The Day Tripper Episode 303 is a great portrayal of Smithville. It was shot before the fire, and the first scenes take Chet through Bastrop and Buescher Parks... we truly lost a great place, but as the Chamber says on new t-shirts, "beauty is more than the lost pines... it's in the heart of the people." Check out the rest of the episode to see quite a few familiar faces and places!
