Hawthorn Suites - Brownsville

Meghan and I were able to shoot the 300 Mag. in this afternoon. We were not able to find and Elk life size target for practice, but had to settle for this Whitetail Deer. She shot this target and scored in the Harvest Zone from 100, 200, 250 & 300 Yards.
All we need now is the Elk to walk out in front of her once we are hunting.

... with my little girl, and hopefully we will have some
life long memories. I hope my Iphone works while we are hunting the Routt National Forest.
Up to date hunting and trip photos would be nice for everyone to enjoy. I will keep everyone posted.

Hello All. We have really enjoyed our stay in Brownsville, TX to visit Jerry's parents. We don't see them often and it is always bittersweet when the visit nears an end.

We went out for a casual dinner with the parents and Jerry's brother, Juan, and wife Vivian. Then it was back to the hotel to begin packing up our belongings.

The girls were completely exhausted by the time we got back to the hotel.

This is our traditional stop whenever we make the trek between San Antonio and Brownsville. The food is always better than I remember from the previous visit.

As soon as we arrived in Brownsville, we headed straight to Jerry's parents house to say hello before checking into the Residence Inn for our week-long stay.

... commuter plane, but it did the trick and in 55 minutes after taking off from Houston, we were practically at the Mexico border! We were told there are many "pirate taxis" who are really kidnappers, so we really have to discern. We found a nice taxi driver who took us from Brownsville International Airport to the border, through customs, and ...

... note that the downtown core was full of Austin Longhorn fans... to the tune of about 100,000 people walking the streets. Fans here are very dedicated both Men and women ! Texas is an incredibly wealthy state and money literally flows like oil here. October 26th We awoke at 5:45a.m. this morning to leave for Brownsville we had a long drive and we needed to get a room ...

... the salad but I enjoyed both). We drove through a huge industrial city near the state line-- I'm not sure exactly where we were. Texas is much more attractive than I expected-- very green and so flat it seems endless. If I have any complaint about the drive, it's Houston-- just huge and crowded. We got on the highway there just at rush hour and it was awful. I'm glad (and every other driver on the road at that ...

... and Rick enjoyed taking a few snapshots of a pretty church in Campbellton. After that detour, we hit the road. We had a little bit of trouble actually finding our hotel, as the exits off the local road in Brownsville weren't labeled due to construction. So we found ourselves driving South on I-77, seeing signs for "International Border Crossing." Suddenly, Rick realized that the Mexican border was only a few hundred feet away!! He slammed on the ...

... 19 net, so things like this carry weight when you’re on a budget. Greyhound’s not especially costly, but long and slow. This is the age of hitch-hiking, too, back when you’d 'go hitch-hiking’ just for fun, but a cheap flight once in a while is a luxury.
