This 'N' That

Friday night,  June 15 we drove to Lillian, TX where the First baptist Church of Lillian hosted a Bluegrass show.  They had about 150 audience and the show was pretty good. One of the people we met told about the Bluegrass jam the next day in Glen Rose, so Saturday we drove up and spent the after noon jammin' in the Glen Rose City park.

We drove down to Waco again Wednesday, June 20 to the Texas Ranger Museum.  A great history of the deservedly proud Texas Rangers.




There were dozens of cool pistols used by the Rangers

What we did today

A couple weeks ago we drove to Crawford, TX looking for the George W. Bush Ranch.  Didn't find it but felt we were close and decided to try again today.  We found some GPS co-ordinates for the ranch on the internet so I plugged 'em in and off we went.  All we got was a closed road which we assume led to the Bush home on Prairie Chapel Rd. and Rainey Rd; at least that's according to the co-ordinates 97.32'51" Longitude 31.34'49" Lattitude.

This is about as close as we got - The right turn at the end of this road is Rainey Rd. which has a barrier saying road closed.
Getting there

This sums up our day whch turned out to be a bust - Almost 7 hrs. engine time - 232.1 miles driving around Waco and the Texas countryside.
 Most exciting part = 18.2 MPG. Pretty good for this
