I made a couple of day trips while staying with a friend in Magnolia, Texas.
On Monday, May 22nd, I rode to College Station/Bryan to visit with Jamie, an old friend from Orange, Texas. We took a ride to Brenham, where we enjoyed a leisurely lunch, shot some pool, and did lots of "catching up," since we hadn't seen each other in over 4 years.

The next day, I traveled through Hempstead, Texas on my way to Bellville to meet a new-old friend. 
Highway 159 crossing the Brazos River. 
The Brazos River, Pecan trees and Johnson grass...this must be Texas.
Bellville, Texas
The Old Austin County Jail...now a museum.
"Cowboy" is the blacksmith at The Blacksmith Shop in Bellville.

Claye...now you're hanging around in God's (and my) country.
ReplyDeleteHempstead used to be called Six-gun Junction because of all the gunfights.
Theory is still in practice today.
Question: How to tell a Texas bar?
Answer: When you walk in the door they frisk you. If you don't have a gun, they give you one.
