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

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... |

Texas' Burning House by Bob Bowman 8-21-06
Motorists traveling along U.S. Highway 59 in Polk County are often startled
to see what appears to be flames pouring from the windows of old sawmill house...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...
