I know, I know...these few photos probably belong in the Photos forum...but since this incredible place is within our own great state of Texas...I thought that I would stick close to "home" and show ya'll some of the interesting things that I found out there a few weeks ago. If anyone has traveled there yet, then you know what I'm talking about, and if you haven't gone before, by all means, grab that gallon of water, a good walking stick, a great camera, a floppy hat and a good sunscreen, lol.. and take your own private adventure to a truly wild area. No cell phones, no televisions, hardly any cars...and a place so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat for hours. And to a gardener who loves native Texas plants, a goldmine of agaves, cactuses, desert trees...and many many other types of desert plants and animals. What a treasure.. :)

lol, I had to include this photo of Judge Roy Bean's saloon, court house and billiard hall in Langtry, Tx...and his famous picture of Lillie Langtry over the bar. He was infatuated with her, you see, and named his town after her in the 1890's. She, being a famous British stage actress at the time.
