Kirbyville, TX.

I stopped in Kirbyville, TX. to have Sunday lunch with my cousins, Mercedes and Thomas Hall.
As you can see, their idea of traveling is completely different from mine...give me my Cherokee any day of the week....to each his own....they have a beautiful motor home.

Taylor ,TX. T74

I was really getting tired, it was getting close to dark. I did not have a stopping place planned.

I heard some chatter on the unicom, so I ask a local pilot if there was an airport in the area that had a hotel with in walking distance of the runway....He sent me to Taylor. It was a great choice.

Very nice motel, 50 yards from the runway....wonderful Mexican restaurant.......mark it on your sectional if you are in the area and need a place to eat or sleep.

I met Stacie there, she is a student pilot with 14 hours, she is about to solo...
