Navasoto..

So last nite at Brad's was a lot of fun. Actually last year one of the riders just happened to meet Brad in the town. Brad asked what the route was to Navasoto and the rider told him. Brad told him to have Bubba contact him and he would give him a better and safer route. so that is what happened and he invited bubba to bring his riders this year to his house. What a personable man he is... and what a host. What a beautiful house he has - not my style but really nice!!!

By the way, La Grange is famous for it's Chicken Ranch Brothel... The ""best little whorehouse in texas" broadway play was made from this brothel. they say the owners gave a lot of money to the town and that's probably why they were never closed down. There were also a couple of movies made in this town - one which I can't remember the name - but Brad Pitt was in it!

So anyway, today we did Brad's route and I have to say as far as scenery - this was my favorite ride so far... 70 miles of green pastures, beautiful homes, cattle and rolling hills. I saw some donkeys this time too. It was so beautiful and there is no way you could take a picture... it wouldn't do it any justice.

Bubba asked us to be at 50 miles for lunch that he had someone to describe the area to us. Independence, Tx which was beginning of this whole area. Sam Houston was from here....and still has generations later of his that live here. Anyway, when bubba called the museum to see if we could use the site for lunch...he called back and said yes but this friend of his wanted to do a bbq for us at lunch. It's all about hospitality he said and they fixed bbq ribs, beef brisket, sausage, coldslaw, beans, jambalaya, and green chili bread... talk about hospitality and then they gave us the rest and we are having it for dinner tonite. Pretty cool, heh!!

Tomorrow is our day off.. not a big town so won't be doing much but laying around. We plan on going to Walmart for shopping.
