Crockett TX, Tex Mex and Pecans!

Friday, November 15, 2019 (continued) -- We headed to the Davey Crockett Spring, and found a small park!

Here we found the Strode Cabin, which had been built in the 1850s and was eventually brought to this location and restored!

And here is a marker for the location of the Davey Crockett Spring, although the water fountain does not work, and we couldn't find any source of water nearby. LOL.

They also have a mural here, dedicated to Davey Crockett.

Google noted a county museum in the railroad depot building right across the street, so we headed over there to find it was closed. But there was  a park area right there, so we walked General around for a little while. But then I looked down at the ground and saw pecans! So I started picking up as many as I could find that looked like they weren't rotten! LOL. Turns out pecan trees grow wild in this area of Texas. We started finding them all over after that! And there were several shops in town selling Pecans!

​On our way home, we decided to check out the Tex Mex restaurant in Grapeland!

This would be our first time trying Tex Mex food, and it was awesome!

There were mixed reviews for this restaurant on Google. Some people hated it, and some people loved it. I always find it interesting when folks compare food from one restaurant with similar foods from other restaurants. While I have never been to two Chinese restaurants that make their dishes the EXACT same way, I'm sure Tex Mex restaurants are the same way. Everybody makes their food differently! Even something as simple as a grilled cheese sandwich - I don't make mine the same way as my Husband, but both versions are equally as good! So food dishes should be judged on their own merit, and not compared to something else! Just my humble opinion. LOL.

This restaurant was in an old early 1900s building that was once a department store. On the tables, they had various newspaper articles from that time period. What a unique way to decorate!

Back at Salmon Lake Park, they were getting ready for a big weekend, since this was the site of a custom car show. They brought out this train for the children to ride around on!

That evening, I shelled the pecans I had picked up in town, and got almost a full cup! YUM!
