Duke, thanks for the city list to check out. I checked out that link - oooooooh, a free crawdad boil on the 20th! Too bad we aren't heading out that soon. The last crawdad fest I attended was somewhere near Destin, FL, quite a few years ago. MMMMMM. I couldn't bring myself to bite the heads off like my Uncle did, but I can sure eat a huge bucket of crawdad tails, especially if they are hot and spicy.

Thanks again for the info, folks!

Hey, let's set the record straight. 80% of the forum that rides year-round is in Texas.
80% of the smart-aleck posts about winter are from Dan.

Although I've only been to the Metro-mess a handful of times, what has been mentioned would also reflect my observations. The smaller cities between the two major ones are the ones attracting the visitors and...

I should have written it: I figured 50% of the forum was off running around the country in their luxurious RV's or Miatas, and they could give me the poop on Dallas!

I wish I would have joined here earlier when some of those Miata's were up for sale - that is my dream car (well, besides a '57 or 58 'vette with that sexy rounded rear). OMG - I think I figured out why I fell in love with my T! It's the cute round...

Thanks for the info, Gary. Awwww, poooooooop, since it's not football season, I totally forgot that's the Cowboys hometown. I guess I'll have to keep my intense love for the Green Bay Packers under my hat, so to speak! (I used to live on Packerland Drive in Green Bay - ahhh, those were the days! But dang, I HATED the cold and snow.)

Dawn, I grew up in Irving, just west of Dallas. Although it's been over thrity years since I left there, I have been back a few times to see my family. I can tell you this, the really cool things to see are in the small towns in between Dallas and Ft Worth. Arlington has become one of the most visited towns in Texas. It is kind of the epicenter of places to visit while in the 'DalWorth Metroplex'. In the center of Arlington, there is a wide assortment of attractions such as...

Hi Stan, we'd be heading there by plane. TN, MS, or AL is a HUGE chunk of territory - can't I just yell now and just say, if you're heading towards Danville, VA, stop in and see us!

Is this a road trip, or a plane ride? If it's a road trip and y'all pass through my neck of the woods (TN,MS, or AL) then give me a yell.

You'll be closer to some of the best riding I've found - the hills in the heart of Texas.

LOL, Scott, there's no info in my blog, either.

Let's just say that sometimes opportunity knocks, and you need to investigate where the noise is coming from...

Plano - man that's right in the heart of the DFW area isn't it? I haven't been there in my "luxurious" rv yet. I avoid the big cities if possible. Tell us more when it's not so secret. I had best go check your blog for more info....

I went to visit a friend of mine who use to live in Plano. I believe it was in the month of July and it was 111 degrees. As I was getting off the plane I told my friend that the AC in the corridor from the plane to the terminal...

John and I may be traveling to the Dallas area, and I'm wondering if anyone on this forum lives there. Can you give me your "take" on the area? You know the Chamber of Commerce sites only give you the GOOD - I want to hear both sides of the story! I don't have the details yet, but I think we'll be headed toward the Plano area.

Thanks in advance to my fellow travelers!
Dawn
