    A spectacular history! I never knew about Gonzales. The bison are amazing, the museum was amazing. Thank you for sharing the adventure. Buckey's makes WAWA look like a Cumberland Farms! Safe travels and be well Brother. 😂😂😂👍

      @@cameraman655 Buc'ees, thanks, I like it. Actually, I'm all in on convenience stores. When I saw Buc'ee's jerky case, I almost got apoplexy, or as the old folks used to say: "Apple plecksie" - wait a minute - I am the old folk!
      Anyway, I still got enough teeth left to gnarl on some good jerky. Now I have reason # 764 why I hate living in (don't laugh) new jersey. Thanks for the info. and you have a fantastic weekend friend! 👍

    This was one of my favorites Dennis. Interesting and educational, with nice scenery thrown in. If ya ever get the chance a bit about the old German built stone fences would be of great interest to me. And Czech sausage, which for many Texans is almost a religion. A large number of pretty famous restaurant/smokehouses exist, with eating that is sublime. I know you have limited time and resources, and likely plenty already in your headlights, but if ya get the chance.
