Sights of Spring Races

Yesterday, I talked a bit about day 1 of the races but frankly there’s a lot to see. Lots of great people watching, lots of perusing around. There’s celebrities to meet, vendors to check out, shopping to do. Most drivers have a trailer out there where you can buy memorabilia. It’s an all around good time. Here are some of my “sights”.
First thing was first, I had to meet some of the Duck Dynasty folks. Now I only have Jase, Uncle Si and Phil left to meet. (I met Willie and Korie last fall.)
 

My dad is a huge fan of Fast n’ Loud – a car show on Discovery. It’s based on the Gas Monkey Garage here in Dallas. Now if only I had told him about my dad’s cars.

The parking lot is a great place to see “things”. Everyone gets into the spirit. It’s pretty great!

This is the best brat I have ever had in my life (and the most filling). One of the people who was camping with us had shot a pig and had these made. Seriously, I can’t even talk about it because I want another one. So delicious!

While at the races, we camped out. Below is our camp site, complete with a fire pit and flags. All you can see are RV’s, RV’s and more RV’s! It’s a lot of fun!

WW: Lipan, Texas

Last week, I shared with you my experience just outside of Fort Worth. (View, Peter Pan, Texas Sized Rocker and Natty Flat)Today, I wanted to share with you a few more pictures from my drive. In all seriousness, I never get sick of these back roads. The view is awesome. I kind of just want to pop open the hatch of my car and just sit back and enjoy the scenery.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!
There is nothing like taking pictures of these old shacks. I couldn’t get closer to this one. They had a no trespassing sign in their driveway / road.

Wild turkeys! I got kind of excited when I saw these and I thought of my brother. He would’ve started making the gobbling noises and if it was hunting season, there would’ve been at least one dead. When is turkey hunting season in Texas anyway?

You know me and my windmills!

…And fences!

One more old house!
Have a great Wednesday y’all!

Wordless Wednesday: Texas Country Drives

If you’ve been following my posts, last Saturday I found myself just wandering thru Texas country. There is nothing like it, the open roads, Texas country playing on the radio, few other drivers, scenic views and just the rustic west. Every so often, you come across something completely unexpected. It’s nice.
These are some pictures from the first leg of my drive. Even though I technically wasn’t that far away from the city, it felt like a being a world away. That was nice. Maybe everything really is bigger in Texas!
  
Route taken: 820 W, Exits Las Vegas Trail and Silver Creek Road then I found my way down Old Weatherford Road – Lake Worth / White Settlement / West Fort Worth.
