"The Lone Start State"   Motto:  Friendship "Remember the Alamo, amigo." -Frank

Abilene - A small town with big town ideas.  And its own water tower, too.  (Mar. '02)

Amarillo - The first town of significant size we hit during the tour.  And pretty windy there to boot.  (Mar. '02)

Austin - It was a short visit, but we hit on the capital sights.  (Mar. '02)

Dallas/Fort Worth - We'd have probably stopped had it not been for the somewhat fierce rains of a passing storm front.  (Mar. '02)

Groom - Don't know much of this place, except that it's got the biggest god-dang cross in the western hemisphere.  (Mar. '02)

Houston - After looking at the map, and the traffic, the visit wasn't what you'd call "extended", causing me to miss Enron Field.  (Mar. '02)

Odessa - One of those magical places that has a hotel and an intersection of two highways important to the Tour.  (Mar. '02)

San Antonio - Well, the trip was the "Remember the Alamo" tour, so I had to stop, at least briefly.  (Mar. '02)

Seminole - A sort of whistle-stop type of town where we switched highways and directions.  (Mar. '02)

Waco - The home of Baylor University and the Dr Pepper Museum.  And not one mention of those Ranch Davidian events from 1993, although the tourist bureau for a time did have directions available.  (Mar. '02)
