The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum

My great great grandfather was a mounted Texas Ranger stationed in Fort Belknap. This was before the Civil War. Fort Belknap was close to Weatherford, Texas. These rangers protected the frontier. They were all inducted into the Confederacy during the Civil War. His name was Captain Newton White.

Bob Bullock Museum Overview

This is one of many museums in Austin, and it is the newest, but it is a lot of fun.

"Toobing" on the Guadalupe River

We did this once. Believe me it's for the young un's. In those rapids are big rocks just beneath the surface. My wife had a bruise on her butt that looked a lot like Australia. Most of the toobers had a separate toob with their ice chest filled with beer floating beside them. These people get really crazy after a couple of hours. Still glad I did it once.

Easter in Texas

This happened in 2007. Got to watch quick, but I really liked the picture of the bluebonnets in snow.

The State Bird of Texas --- The Mockingbird

Whoever filmed this did a good job. Looks like a nice peaceful little bird. In reality, these birds are the bullys of the backyard. They chase away other birds, I have seen them attack cats. They are tough, but they are ours.

Texas Horny Toad

Used to see these little creatures all the time when I was a kid. Haven't seen on in at least 30 years. Wanted to preserve their memory.

Texas Bluebonnets

Goliad, Texas

Goliad, is one of the oldest cities in Texas. In 1749 Spanish explorers started a mission and fort. Goliad is also known for its part in the Texas Revolution. Col. James Fannin and 342 men were massacred after surrendering to the Mexican army at Goliad in 1836. The Mission Espiritu Santo was established in 1749 by Spanish Franciscans. Today it is a museum and campground. The Presido La Bahia or "Fort of the Bay" is located just south of the mission. The fort was built in 1749 by the Spanish as an inland coastal defense, which is something of an oxymoron. Today the fort is a National Historic Landmark, boasting a modest, well organized museum.

We travel though Goliad, which is on Hwy 183, inbetween Cuero and Refugio. There is also a monument to Col. Fannin at the cementary where many of the soldiers were buried.

My grandson, Tucker, loves to go to the museum and the monument at the cementary. This is real Texas history and all Texans should take a trip to Goliad. They also have a really nice town square. I can't remember his name right now, but the mayor of Goliad sings at the monthly Grand Ole Opery program in Refugio.

Why there are Aggie Jokes.

I have a nephew that is an aggie and I try my best to understand them. The following video will demonstrate why there are aggie jokes. God Bless those guys.
I really don't have to say anything else. Go Scott.

Conn Brown Harbor in Aransas Pass, Texas

We have a small trailer about a mile from Conn Brown Harbor. This video shows the harbor from the park area and not the actual harbor area. The bridge you see in the video, takes you from Aransas Pass to the Ferry that will take you to Port Aransas, Texas. Port A is about 8 miles from Conn Brown.

BBQ in Dripping Springs

This video was shot in Dripping Springs, Texas about 13 miles from my home. The locals just call it Drippin. Good song about some good food. Texas BBQ is a state of mind. Enjoy the video.
