Our Mammoth Travels: Exploring the Area

Sunday, June 8th

Today, we awoke to some heavy rain, but soon we got up and got going to drive around the area of Eastland and Cisco a little more. The rain tapered off and we headed to Eastland, and drove all around. We ended up stopping in Eastland for lunch at a Pizza Place, called Pizza Heaven. They had a lunch buffet on Sunday, and we could tell it was very popular with the after-church crowd. The price was reasonable, and the food was very good. They kept the bar full of a variety of pizzas. We will definitely come back to this place!

We also walked around the Eastland WalMart. Although it is smaller than our local WM, they had a similar selection and we would not want for anything.

We also saw they had an Alphagraphics, which will be helpful in my line of work.

We took some backroads to get to Cisco, about 15 miles down the road. The countryside here is populated with large ranches, many were probably enhanced with oil money. We saw quite a few pump jacks here and there, but not many actually pumping. We drove around Cisco College, which may also provide some opportunity for Tony as well. Cisco College is a 2-year institution, and the buildings were somewhat dated... But you could tell it was thriving.

We drove out to look at the stadium. Cisco was the 2-A State Football Champions last year. They share a stadium with Cisco College, so it is larger and nicer than many 2-A schools, with artificial turf and a large concrete home grandstand.

We also scoped out the school some more, and also tried to find another couple of rv parks. Again, nothing to write about compared to Solid Rock.

We ended up returning home about 3pm, and talked about our discoveries. Both of us were expecting less than what we found, which was very promising.

I headed home about 4PM, since I had some other work to complete and be ready for work the next morning. My drive home was uneventful. I spoke to Tony some more once I got home, surrounded by fussy kitties. They were telling me how much they missed us! He also sent me some good pics of the sunset, and Eileen.
