Aug 20 - on the way to Van Horn, TX


We left San Antonio for a pretty long drive to Van Horn Texas. Once we left San Antonio, we were back in the flat scrub territory again! So, to keep awake, we played the "First One To Spot A....." game. The competition was intense!!!! lol. After about 4 hours, we saw a sign for the Davey Crocket Museum. That sounded pretty cool, and we needed to stretch out a bit, so we ventured off the highway to see what it was all about.

Well, not much here, but a very tiny town with a hole lot of pride in it's history! This little patch of town is in Crocket county. Seems as though Davey spent a lot of his life here doing things like fighting for the rights of Texas against the Mexicans, and holding political offices. He even made a run for the Presidency of the United States - who knew?! For such a small place, the museum was pretty nice. I don't think they get visitors here much because the ladies who run the museum were on us like white on rice! They were really cute! They did have "one" restaurant here (jk), Dairy Queen, so we had to take a bit more of a break for some soft serve!!!!! Like I have been saying, it is really hot here!
