Heading back to Dallas. We stop at the Historic Farnthorpe Inn, a stagecoach inn from the 1880's, in Anderson, TX. The stagecoach is not running today, but the Ranger gives us a guided tour of the Inn, which includes all the furnishings and acoutrements that a traveler would have needed in those days.
We climb up in the stagecoach. Before we leave, the Ranger gives us a simulated demonstration of how it would have felt to be inside the stagecoach on a bumpy road. Cool! A step back in time.
There is a short-lived dramatic thunderstorm as we are driving, with booming thunder and huge lightening. The temperature drops in a matter of moments from 103 to 76 degrees. What a relief. There are huge thunderheads and frightening winds, though.
We pass lots of cattle ranches which have very interesting and unique entry gates. Each one tries to be more ornate or artistic than the next.
