Travels with  Tex

Happy Sunday, one and all. Well, it looks like I'm still in the "more stuff" category this week. While the nearest city to my temporary...

Happy Sunday, all! This week's adventure is going to be heavy on the "bit more" side. I spent the week at Lake Colorado City state park...

Sam Houston was quite the figure. War hero, politician, friend of the Indian, father of Texas. He was also quite controversial.

Shiner Beer from the Spoetzl brewery. A brew with a secret.

A review of Copper Breaks State Park. My first park review!

Big Bend National Park. Fond memories and sad news.

King Ranch Chicken. Not really from the King Ranch, but that doesn't stop it from been good.

A visit to Fort Davis, a must see on any trip to Big Bend.

A trip back in time in a bordello in west Texas.

You never know what to expect. A trip to Quitman, Texas and the Governor Jim Hogg City Park.

Resort life is kinda nice!

What do the 34th president of the United States and "Husband Pleasin'" beans have in common?

A little history about Fort Richardson and something new has been added!

A trip through the Texas Hill Country. I visit the Museum of the Pacific War and the Texas Rangers Heritage Site. And Camels in Texas?

A week in at Bastrop and Buescher State Parks. Birdsong, spectacular views, historic structures and natural beauty abound.

A brush with celebrity. Cool cars, flat tires, stinky stuff and a dry lake

My first week in the new rig. Sore muscles, a bruised rib, dead batteries, good food and new friends.

Happy Sunday! When I was researching what to do while in Waco, I happen to see the Waco Mammoth National Monument and just had to make it...

The Texas State Capital and 6th Street in Austin. Two musts for natives and visitors.

A look at Waco and the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum
