headed for Dallas and a 
visit with Peg's Nephew, James. Along the way we saw several oil refineries and oil wells they call pin wells. I guess it is because they look kind of like pinwheels, but they are oil wells! We also wanted everyone to see the speed limits in Texas....Pretty fast!
We stayed at the RV Ranch in Burleson, Texas. Yes, this is the home of America Idol Star Kelly Clarkson. We had a nice site and the weather
was now cooperating a bit more. It was interesting getting to the campground because we had to get on a service road for a couple of miles off the main highway and, finally we got to the RV Ranch. This would be our "staging area" for the journey into Dallas.
We found James' home and he wanted to take us out into Dallas and Fort Worth to see some sites in the area. One of the coolest places we saw was Billy Bob's. On Friday and Saturday nights this place is jumpin
' with entertainment. Since we were there in the middle of the week, it was slow but it gave us time to see many of the musical artifacts they have amassed. I was interested in the guitars they had displayed from many of the popular country and rock bands that have played there. 
They also had pictures, hand molds of famous musicians and other memorabilia. Pretty cool! Billy Bob's also had a rodeo arena inside the building. I bet this is a popular sport in Texas.We had an interesting time with James in th Dallas/Fort Worth area and hope to go back there some day in the future. After two days in that area, we were ready to continue our journeys west...
