THE TEXAS TRIP - DAY 24b

THE TEXAS TRIP - DAY 24b - Monday, January 7, 2002

ARLINGTON, TEXAS - LAYOVER

I headed over to the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, where I poked around and even saw a cattle drive of Texas Longhorn Steers down the main street. I topped off the day with an authentic Texas steak dinner at the internationally famous Cattleman’s Restaurant. Now THAT’S BEEF! Walking back to my car down Main Street in the Stockyards district, the trees were full of hundreds of birds. The sound of their chirping was so loud that it was almost scary. It was kind of reminiscent of the sound of the attacking birds in the Alfred Hitchcock movie “The Birds”, which, oddly enough, I had just watched on TV in Las Cruces two weeks before!

A water tower. The train has a round table just beyond.

The cattle drive held twice daily.


The Wandering Hobo. In trouble again! :)


Night is falling on Fort Worth, Texas.


I headed back to Doug and Shirley's place after it got dark... around 6pm. End of a full day touring the area.
