Chisholm Trail Outdoor Museum, Cleburne Texas

Where are we today ?

Tres Rios Resort Glen Rose Texas

         Cooler this morning and really enjoyed my walkabout the trails by the rivers, so peaceful and quiet here, before the weekend.

        About 10 am we made a short trip (with Rob and Pat) to the Chisholm Trail Museum in Cleburne Texas to check out the interesting history from this area. Early pioneers drove cattle through this area, you can read about it HERE . It was very a informative and fun outdoor history lesson of the area.

     Now we had this small rope bridge to cross, this is a fun experience, shaking, rocking a rolling.

Thats me getting there too

interesting to see how it was done years ago

         Now a bit further along the trail we saw the  sign "Watch for Turkey". And guess what?
We found the TURKEY!!   We called him Rob or Bob if you prefer.

     Next to the school house.

looks like hostile students here

       Did I mention this outdoor museum has no admission charge (like free) or donations if you like. We do like free.

      After class we headed in to town (Cleburne) to check out this outdoor Mural, one block from the courthouse. To check out this hand painted mural 216 feet long and  30 feet high. Over 10,000 painted bricks and great review of the history here. It took over three years to complete.

       Now back home we can relax for a while, enjoy our books in the shade then a catfish meal, including fries, hushpuppies, coleslaw and beverage, at the restaurant right here in the park. Only a few sites away.
       Love catfish, fried in a light coating of cornmeal, and it was made to order less than ten dollars each, we had a feast and did not have to leave the resort. Love these kind of deals.

      Back to Rob and Pats for a bit then call it a night. Cooling down a bit, so time for us old folks to call it a day. The local weekend campers are arriving, with energy filled children and campfires to be had.

Lady Girl says hi too!

the best sunset we can get her where we are,
still not too bad

        Just another fun day with nice weather, much cooler than yesterday but still in the low 70's.
        Thanks for stopping by again, anytime you like is good for us.
