We had a better day today, we travelled together and the only problem was that it was a very boring road. We continued traveling through the Great Plains of the Mid West. We crossed out of the State of Nebraska just after lunch into the state of Kansas. In the morning the Corn fields made way for grass covered hills where Angus Cows were doing their “Free Range Stuff.”… Read More

This morning as we were all saying goodbye to each other a man with a long story and some little flags got Tex’s attention, he was collecting signatures on little flags, not money.

Last night we were spoilt by Pie’s Brother In Law. Pie’s sister was abroad and her husband invited us out for dinner, “for a real Texas Experience.” We met at The Hard Eight BBQ Restaurant and I got worried when I saw the line of people waiting to get into the door of the restaurant. Its a Smoke House with many big smokers which you have to shuffle past as the line moves to the front where there are two service points where you choose your meat that is sliced for you and put on a plate.… Read More
