    Default 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.



    1. Yehaw. Almost there.



    2. First stop. Music City Texas Theater(formerly the American Legion)



    Listening about the history of the Music City Texas Theater.






    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.



    The plaque about Don contributing into restoring the Courthouse.

    4. Third stop. The famous water tower.



    The famous pose in front of the shed. I was looking the wrong way.




    5. Fourth stop. Linden Fuel Center. There's a small restaurant in the gas station. Its one of Don's favorite places to eat when he's in town. Their hamburger was soo good. Here's a display on Don's stuff.





    6. Last stop before leaving Linden for Branson, MO, The billboard that Don's hometown put up in his honor.
