A cute prairie dog photo to start your day off right.
Weare weaving our way slowly home. First town is Turkey (home of Bob Wills -something to do with music - hence the museum below. No we didnt go in
Like many small towns - the railway spured development...
and as things changed - some towns died. Its hard to believe that a town with a building this big just faded away - this is all that is left.
Next town is Matador - the cafe under the oil rig was a gimmick to try to drum up trade. He also paid long distance truckers to put up signs all over the country that said how many miles to Matador. One thing led to another and at one time the place was humming...
Ye olde Jail |
Last stop before home was Copper Breaks state park
Took a nice stroll around the Juniper ridge trail, visited the lakes and took in the displays in the visitor center. There are also longhorns here but they were hiding.
