Texans Are Very Serious About Being Texan

February 11, 2010 by Rob 5 Comments

I took a dip last night in a hot tub that was the shape of the state of Texas.  Of all the states we’ve traveled through so far, Texas seem to be the most proud of their heritage.  Lone stars are built into the architecture, the sidewalks and the Texas state flag is seen flying everywhere.  Formal attire for a Texan is a cowboy hat and boots!  I posted my thought about Texans being serious about being Texan on Twitter and got the reply, “Yes, like glue is serious about being sticky!”

    I saw a flag yesterday, must have been a historical one, that said “Independence or death”

    Growing up in Texas as a kid, I totally agree. Most of my family never left there, but going in the Air Force then moving to Alaska satisfied my wanderlust (but not for long!)

    Yes, you are correct. I am very proud to be a Texan. I call it Paradise, but, you may wanna call it Texas. Please, come back and spend more time with us.

    FYI for all Young Snowbirds readers: Road Trip calendars for 2011 are now available on my site. I had so many images and requests to have them that I have created a calendar of some of my favorites from the road. You can see all the images in the calendar and order one on my photography blog at: http://www.herviewphotography.com/2010/09/30/road-trip-2011-calendars.html

    I have just one thing to say, “Don’t mess with Texas!”

RV Travel Thoughts

Free Stuff .... sort of

You never know when your luck will draw to you free stuff along the road. 6 months, roughly 22 states and a smattering of Provinces puts a person in enough situations where free stuff, just seems to come your way. While we didn't play poker, we did put $5 into a nickle slot and win $104. That's free money in my books. In Tombstone, we walked into Big Nose Kate's, saddled up to the bar and are asked "would you like a margarita?" and were given a free drink. This happened again in Texas. We also got a free months electricity at an RV park that will remain nameless (wont say why either, and no we didn't "unplug and run")

Pee Before Driving Through Cities

When you're driving an RV, you travel with your toilet, but while the passenger has the luxury of peeing while you move, the driver does not. I've learned that before entering any city limits, it's a good idea to find a place to pull over and pee because while on the Interstate, there are no pull outs to be found. They say the human bladder can hold 18 oz or 1/2 a litre of fluid, but I would wager it to be a lot more.
