Dinosaur Capital Of The World

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 45 degrees, high 62 degrees, clear skies, windy

We had a rather restful day, with no appointments for poking and prodding by doctors. I took a long walk early in the day, and it felt good to stretch some muscles. After a short rest, we went to the library in Glen Rose to check out some books. They have a small library, but seem to have the writers that we like. When we left the library, we went to the courthouse square and took some pictures of the courthouse and the square around it. The town has a population of about 2200 people, and has made an effort to attract tourists by promoting their history and heritage. I would say they are succeeding, considering the fact that this small town has five hotels, with three of them being built in the last year.

Here's some pictures of the square and courthouse.
























We left the square and drove out to Dinosaur State Park. This park was created to save dinosaur footprints located in the bed rock of the Paluxy River. Just before the park gates is another attraction created in the last year to capitalize on the history of the dinosaurs in this area.








By the time we had driven around some of the back roads admiring the beautiful hills and scenery, it was time to go home and do some meditation for the first time this week. Tomorrow, we have an RV serviceman coming to the RV to check our furnace. It runs well, but the fan will not turn off when the desired heat is reached. Eventually, even though the furnace is blowing cold air, the fan still does not turn off. It is probably a relay problem, but it's best to get someone who knows more that I do to repair it.

More later, be safe.
