Northbound TX-IN

Gotta love the Jackalope!  This creature graces
more than a couple pubs I've visited!

As Kelly VI and I have now made this trip several times, it is becoming a bit more routine.  Yet, there are always new and unique sights along the way.

This large statue of Sam Houston
is alongside the highway between Houston and Dallas.
My overnight stop was a free campsite
at a local park midway between Houston and Dallas.
It was a bit gray, damp and very quiet, but
being by the water is always good.
Kelly VI seemed quite at home here.


And the sunset was gorgeous!
It's already spring in Texas!  Beautiful flowers roadside.
Back in Keller for a visit with Bill,
we found this fun spot for dinner.
You'll notice that many of the outside table are mounted in the backs of old pickup trucks!
And there's an oil well (non-functioning) in the yard.
Lots of fun things on this property, including this VW Bug that caught my eye.
Even a Ferris Wheel!

 

Bill and I enjoyed an April baseball game
at the Texas Rangers' ballpark.
After that I headed north to Indiana.
Enroute I noticed that many farmers' fields
were flooded and many rivers had flowed 
over their banks.  While the high
waters did not impact my driving trip,
I was concerned for the farmers
being forced to plant later than usual.
