Love it! Thanks for sharing.
My trip to Linden, TX Don's hometown.
I decided to make detour to Linden on October 28th as I was on my way to annual vacation to Branson, MO. It was a fun short trip. I was looking forward to my trip to Linden than Branson, but I was very tired from the drive.
I wish I stayed longer, but I was on my way to Branson. I had 6 more hours to drive. That drive is usually 8 hours from Mississippi, but it turned into a 10 hour drive not including the 3 hours I was in Linden.
I did get to see some of Caddo Lake in Louisiana as I was heading toward Texas and I also saw Don's old high school as I was heading to Linden. I didn't get to stop at the school. The high school is maybe 5 miles outside of Linden.
I had my personal tour guide while in Linden. We've been corresponding by PM'd on Facebook. I did see Diary Queen. That's where we actually met. By the Linden Fuel Center and Diary Queen.
Speaking of Linden Fuel Center. I stopped at Don's favorite food place at the Linden Fuel Center. Their hamburger was soo good. I took a picture of the display of Don's stuff. I enjoyed going to another southern state and not get that crazy look when you say, "ya'll". LOL
I also went inside Music City Texas Theater.
I recommend everybody to visit Don's hometown. Its a nice place and the people there were soo nice.
Here are some pictures from my trip. I hope its ok to post this.

3. Second stop, the Courthouse. The oldest running courthouse in Texas. Its very nice. I loved the vault. I wish I took a picture of it and then the long winding staircase.
There's my car in the background.
