Monday, August 31st

We left Greenville, Texas without breakfast or even coffee this morning. We thought we could find a café, nothing but fast food, finally in McKinney we found a family run cafe "Bill Smith's Cafe" & had a decent breakfast. McKinney is a historic town so we drove down to the town square and look it over, Museum and the house that we wanted to look at was not open today. We found that to be true in Savannah as well, closed on Mondays. 😒. We stayed on Highway 382 Jacksboro Texas and then south on Highway 281 to Mineral Wells. Joy found us a nice motel "Days Inn," it is nice and the price was right. The country across from Greensville to Mineral Wells was cattle country with a little farming. It looks very dry here.  There is a beautiful old hotel here in Monroe Wells. It is huge but it is not in use at the present time and it is pretty rundown. It would take a lot of money to restore it. Don good searched it and it is "Bakers Hotel" Mineral

Wells, TX. We shared a steak tonight at the Mesquite Pit, it was really good and the first steak that we have had since we left home five weeks ago today. But we are in Texas and that is what you do in Texas, right?
