Caravan - Waco, Texas - May 28, 2005
Four cars driven by hardy souls showed up to make the trek to Waco
despite really ugly weather. Our meeting place was at the Burleson Cracker
Barrel and the caravan started well, making about 75-80 mph towards
Hillsboro. But then, torrential rain fell, visibility fell to about zero
and our little caravan started breaking up. Larry Vaughn, not wanting to
risk hail, decided to turn back. But, the survivors linked up with John
and Carol Knight at Hillsboro and pressed on.
Only light rain was coming down by the time we arrived at the Antiquibles Mall north of Waco. We perused the artifacts at the dog museum and the goods at the antique store. We then proceeded to Waco's historic Elite Cafe and had a nice lunch together. |

Dark and angry skies at Burleson. The picture is not underexposed,
folks. It really was this way.

downpour. Note that parking skills improve with the weather.
