Things to do in Texas (whaddya mean you don’t like taxidermy?)
Now having spent some time in Middle America, I must confess to never making it into Texas (barring airports for connecting flights). This is something I am hoping to address in September, where on my usual jaunt to NW Arkansas and the surrounding states I’ll be taking in a road trip across that south western border!
Already taking the pleasures of The Lone Star State are Rick and Steph who have been visiting Dallas, the capital Austin, The Johnson Space centre (that’ll be “Houston we have a problem”) and doing a spot of camping near San Antonio.
After the camping, a trip to the Alamo led to some drinks in the Buckhorn Saloon, which Rick and Steph refer to as a taxidermist’s dream. This I feel may be a common feature of the region. Anecdotally, I ventured in to what is literally the biggest store I have ever seen while in Missouri. It was called Cabela’s (a fishing and hunting superstore) and never have I seen such stuffery, gnus to rhinos, marlins to tigers. They had a better collection than NYC’s natural history museum!
That aside, should you want more on all that can be done in Texas, slide your way down this lonelyplanet thread. It includes a veritable plethora of options, worthy of the US’s largest state.
