Siminole and Langtry Texas



We are still in the same area of Texas, we just moved a few miles up Highway 90 to Seminal State Park, we visited the park on Sat. and took a guided hike, we liked the park so much we decided to spend a few days here. The wind is really blowing again today but at 3:00 in the afternoon its 70 degrees. Due to the wind we thought doing some touring in the car would be fun and we drove into Langtry Texas. Langtry is the town that Judge Roy Bean lived and died in. It’s not much of a town but the Texas Dept. 0f Transportation Visitors Center has the original home (the opera house) of Judge Roy Bean, his tavern and pool hall perfectly restored along with a beautiful cactus garden on the grounds.
We are so close to the border that you can see Mexico right across the Rio Grande Rich took some photos of the confluence of the Pecos and Rio Grande Rivers with Mexico in the background.

Not quite sure about that border crossing
