Two of these being: Virginia City, Montana and South Pass City, Wyoming. Both did a whole lotta living during their short existences and packed in a million years of memories in the short time they were given.

The joke I tell on myself and Texas is when driving to San Antonio to visit a friend and attend a conference my car kept wanting to stop at all the historic markers. (I had nothing to do with my cars behavior I swear!). When driving Texas you go a mile and see a marker, go Renaissance Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045401344374224512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-7668975688158423892014-02-21T16:31:34.971-06:002014-02-21T16:31:34.971-06:00There's probably a Wal-Mart in Llano now, Sara...There's probably a Wal-Mart in Llano now, Sarah. :-\<br /><br />Tell you what: You, Cheryl, and I need to pack up the car and head out on one of those epic road trips!

I so wish the house could have been saved.<br /><br />I remember taking family vacations by car as a kid, and Daddy always seemed to be pulling off at some out-of-the-way remnant of some long-gone something-or-another.

I think it's interesting and fun exploring little towns. Not only does it bring back bits of nostalgia with their old store fronts and quiet friendliness, but also the wonderment of how they managed to survive the years without a Wal-Mart or shopping mall. They do peak my curiosity and I want to know their history.<br />This was such an Sarah J.

I've been curious about that place ever since the post about stagecoaches, you tease. ;-)<br /><br />Whidbey Island has been on my list of places to visit for a long time. The whole island sounds charming from what I've heard and read. Old forts can be fun to poke around in, and artists villages are always inspiring.

Thanks for the interesting write-up.<br /><br />One of the intriguing places here in Washington is Whidbey Island. It was first mapped by George Vancouver in 1792, although the Spanish had visited a few years before. Langley is a quaint vintage town with the best onion rings at the Doghouse Cafe you'll ever find.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.com
