TEXAS TRAVEL:
TRIPS
"If you
want to have a good time, I don't care where you live, just load in
your kids and take some congenial friends and start out. You would
be surprised what there is to see in this great country within 200
miles of where any of us live. I don't care what state or town."
- Will Rogers |
The L-O-N-G Roads
of Texas: Texas-State-Highway-16 by
C. F. Eckhardt 3-3-08
Texas’ state highways are some of the most interesting ways to travel.
They pass through—not go around—interesting communities of every sort.
The towns are both beautiful—sometimes (and sometimes not so beautiful)—and
often historically interesting. The two longest state highways in
Texas are Highway 16 and Highway 6. Both cut across scenic and historically
significant parts of the state... |

The
Chisholm Trail Rides Again by Clay Coppedge
6-11-06
Anyone wanting to follow the Old Chisholm Trail through Bell County
would find part of the quest relatively easy, at least as easy as
driving on IH-35. The old trail roughly paralleled the Interstate
from Salado to Belton. After that following the old trail might
get a little trickier, though anyone who spends much time here passes
or crosses it many more times than they could ever know...
The
Runestone by Bob Bowman 2-19-06
"East Texans willing to take the time to drive about 100 miles
into eastern Oklahoma will be rewarded with a centuries-old mystery."
