Saturday: Mary Jane returned from South Carolina and I returned from World of Concrete in Las Vegas. We still would rather stay in the travel trailer than a hotel room. We had stored the trailer in the Mar-Mac Warehouse in Denison. We set it up inside the warehouse and stayed Saturday night and Sunday night.

Monday: To avoid Dallas traffic as we headed south to
Houston, we headed out of Denison on Hwy
69, towards Greenville. TX. You absorb
the countryside off the interstate system, rather than passing over it (even
worse in an airplane). Small towns, many
dying as in SC. Images of “cowboy towns”,
not in wood like the western movies, but in brick, but still with the same
boardwalk and shed roof off the store buildings. Someone could buy the town and make it a tourist
destination. No pretense of landscaping
here. Whether it is a house trailer or
$1mm home, no shrubbery, and no landscaping (except expensive fence on the
higher dollar properties). Out of
Greenville on Hwy 34 to Ennis and back on to I-45. Finally, there was roadwork and traffic block
and, thankfully, off the interstate at Madisonville. Backroads through Bedias, Roans Prairie,
Shiro, back on I-45 and off at Willis.
Various friends have suggested different places to see
and places to eat in Texas and on the way: The Shed in Ocean Springs,
Mississippi, Fredericksburg, Texas, Lukenback, Texas, Stonewall, Texas and LBJ’s
birthplace and ranch. And be sure to get
chicken fried steak in Stonewall. We
have been to Fredericksburg on a previous trip, and we had chicken fried
chicken at The Cotton Patch in Denison, TX.
If chicken fried steak as good as chicken fried chicken, we look forward
to it!
