 Tuesday, April 12 Beaumont:  It was a lazy town of agriculture, lumber, etc.  Then, in 1901, oil was found. Like most stories, it starts with a person with a vision, failure, another vision, then a couple of investors and a drill in an area that was promising oil.  As the drillers were changing drill bits, a plumb of oil shots hundreds of feet in the air, and a lake was formed with 50000 gallons of crude.  The rest is history as they say.  Texaco, Mobil oil, and more were founded.  We went to this museum as well.

 Thursday, April 14 We had an outstanding day.  Finally a fishing day. Limited out on Redfish, sea trout, and caught one catfish.  We are at Port Arthur, Tx.  Been here for a  week, waiting for the weather to clear so we can fish, or even hitting the road back towards home if weather clears.  I called this fish guide Captain several months ago to asked about fishing here on our way back from Florida towards Utah.  I really liked him on the phone.  I told him our plans and the return trip schedule was really fluid.  He suggested this week if it worked for us.  Then the weather turn tables while we were in Florida.

 Friday, April 15 We left Port Arthur and arrived in Waco Tx about 2:30.  After setting up, we took off to see the Texas Ranger Museum.  Now that was fun.  Total history of the origin of the Rangers to now. Pretty colorful actually from just Range officers trying keep Indians from the settlers to hero's of the Alamo, to disgrace after the civil war where they were given carte blanc to enforce the law.  of course that was a little too much power for some.  Later they were heros again during WW1, and organize with better tactics, procedures, etc.  They are star to be recognition with today.  Lots of guns, rifles, and shotguns donated to the museum from past rangers.  Of course I loved that part.   Tomorrow Renie is going shopping at The Silos.  It is a VVVVery large shopping mall that she just has to visit.  I am glad my back hurts.
