HOME OF THE BAYLOR BEARS - Waco, TX

Historical Site - San Antonio, TX
THE ALAMO
For proud Texans, the much-fabled Alamo, entered freely off San Antonio’s central plaza, is not so much a tourist attraction as a place of pilgrimage. Many visitors get downright dewy-eyed as they explore the site of the 1836 siege, in which a few hundred revolutionaries, including Davy Crockett, William Travis and James Bowie, died defending the fort against thousands of Mexican troops.
Built as a mission church from 1755 onwards, the main building is now known as the Shrine. Beyond that, various exhibition areas in the Alamo Exhibit tell substantially the same story of the Battle of the Alamo – not that historians entirely agree on the details – in different ways. Thus living-history enactors perform in the Cavalry Courtyard, while there’s a more traditional museum in the Long Barrack, originally a residence for the Spanish priests and later a hospital for Mexican and Texan troops. A 17-minute film provides another perspective on the battle, and makes an excellent opportunity to escape the heat.

The State Flower
Texas Bluebonnets
"The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France, the rose to England and the tulip to Holland."
As our state flower, bluebonnets have a most interesting history. Texas actually has five state flowers, more or less, and they are all bluebonnets. Here is how it happened.
In the spring of 1901, the Texas Legislature got down to the serious business of selecting a state floral emblem and the ensuing battle was hot and heavy. One legislator spoke emotionally in favor of the cotton boll since cotton was king in Texas in those days. Another, a young man from Uvalde, extolled the virtues of the cactus so eloquently, noting the hardy durability of the plant and the orchid-like beauty of its flowers, that he earned the nickname of "Cactus Jack" which stuck with him for the rest of his life. He was John Nance Garner and later became vice president of the United States.
But the National Society of Colonial Dames of America in Texas won the day. Their choice was Lupinus subcarnosus ("generally known as buffalo clover or bluebonnet," stated the resolution) and it was passed into law on March 7 without any recorded opposition.
And that's when the polite bluebonnet war was started.

Greg and Anice Brown have been nothing short of amazing to me and my family. We love the Ranch and will miss being here once we leave for my husbands work. My only wish was that we could have stayed here when it was spring and summer time so we could have enjoyed all this place has to offer. I can’t wait to come back for a visit and see what all their hard work has accomplished. If you are considering staying here wether it be for short or long term DO IT! You won’t regret it!

BATL Ranch RV Park was very quiet, with easy access to Waco, Tx. Exactly what we were looking for. Easy one day trip to Magnolia. Our German Shepard enjoyed the enclosed dog park. Anise & Greg were great hosts. We would stay there again if we travel through or near Waco. Barry Johnson
