We  made it to Waco, Texas - home of the Texas Rangers Museum, Baylor University, the Brazos River, Rudy's BBQ and our friends the Weatherbys. The picture at the right is the Texas Rangers Museum (that's law enforcement rangers not the sports team) - lots of rifles, pistols and Western gear. I'd forgotten that the Texas Rangers captured Bonnie and Clyde so there was lots of stuff captured with them and their gang and I really enjoyed that.

The Weatherby's took us to Rudy's BBQ and that was a great place. We thought you might enjoy what it looks like inside we highly recommend it if you're in the area:

We spent 2 great days in Waco and will return to do much more.
 

Rest Stop on I-35W

And what can we say about the Rest Stops in Texas (at least along the routes we took). They are ready for heat and lots of fresh air, they were clean, and well decorated with colorful murals (the same picture in the 2 I visited, but so artistic.) Aren't they cool?

We're in Abilene, Texas tonight and then on to Van Horn, Texas. Man, there's a lot of Texas. Our next real rest is Las Cruces, New Mexico. Larry and I have wanted to explore it for many years and we're going to take 3 days. Nicole, we'll say HI to Las Cruces for you.

Enjoy yourselves and we'll talk to you again soon.
