The largest Casita (17') comes in four different styles - the same basic units but depending on where they fit them different layouts are possible.
For us either the Liberty or Freedom layouts seem to work best.
Clare had lots of fun discovering all the hidden storage places for our stuff.
Later we got the chance to see Bigfoot and were immediately impressed with roomier feeling. They are slightly wider, and because one end isn't closed off with a bathroom, you can see right through front to back. Much more storage, a real fridge and even an oven. All in a molded fiberglass trailer.
Who knows......
On the drive home we stopped off in Palestine to check it out.
Its a bit of a dis-jointed town. The old courthouse and square are some distance from the "main-street" that grew up around the railroad. But we found it after walking around for a while.
There is also a tourist train in the summer that runs from a few miles out of town, towards the town of Rusk. There was a prison in Rusk that needed charcoal to run an iron smelter. The wood was in Palestine - so they built a railroad to go get it. All of that is gone now The Palestine depot was deserted when we were there.
Last stop on the way home was in Athens. Supposedly this is where the hamburger was invented in the 1880s. They don't make much of this piece of history. We were hoping for a nice array of eateries celebrating this. There were none. The town was asleep....
