T for Texas (pics)

[Ned Jr.]

My wife and I went on a quick trip to Texas. Seen lots of cool stuff I wish I could of got a picture of but we were too busy cruising. Seen a possum on a half shell "armadillo", a turtle, a real Texas Longhorn, a lot of rain, a zillion grasshoppers and they were huge. And I seen this strange bug.

Seen lots of these.

Texas state animal.

A sheep feedlot.

A town we passed threw.

Canadian river.

Really enjoyed the state and even found a couple good places to eat.

We stayed in Brownwood. On the way down we went threw Childress down threw Abiline and Coleman.

What brought you to Brownwood if I may ask?

 

[Ned Jr.]

Went to look at a bull.

 

[Ned Jr.]

We ate at Humphrey Pete's Wednesday night and at Underwood's Thursday afternoon. Really enjoyed both places.

Blanket is where I actually went to look at the bull. If you know of a Hereford breeder in Blanket you can probably figure out where I went .

I'd have brought the sign home if I were a Hereford man.

I always thought Canada came rfrom an Iroquois word Kanata so how the heck is a river in Texas called the Canadian?

I'm afraid that doesn't fit in with what we're talking about NR. :shock:

Supposedly the Canadian river was named that because French traders that had been thru the area had seen Traders from Canada camped somewhere along it's path.

There's also a town near Hereford, named White Face.

What did the sign at Coleman say that you'd like to have had?

Just that, Coleman.

Do you live at or close to Brownwood?
