Tuesday found us heading over to Palestine Texas. That's where the famous Texas State Railroad leaves from and heads to Rusk TX on a round trip journey. I took my son and grandkids several years ago. It was a fun trip but only runs on the weekend right now. We drove out to check out the depot but that was closed too. At one time, there was an RV park but it is gone back to nature these days.
Unfortunately, we also found out that Old Town Palestine is only open Friday through Sunday as well.
This looked interesting for another time. We could only look in the window.
This popular pub looked like it might be opening about lunch time but we weren't in the mood for that.
There were a couple of guys sitting outside of the Cream & Coffee but don't know if it was actually open. Wells Creek was definitely not open. The upside of fall travel during the week especially is fewer tourists......the downside is fewer tourists so less places open.
We went to downtown Palestine but there is not a lot there and again not a lot open. I kept thinking that there was a lot there from when I visited with kids until it dawned on me that we stayed at a small park outside of Palestine but we drove over to Nacogdoches. Duh! We finally went into Old Magnolia which is an antique shop that also has a small cafe. The food was good so it wasn't a total loss. We didn't walk out with an any buys but they had some neat stuff.
We also saw this beautiful church. Whether it's your choice of religion or not, you can always enjoy the beautiful architecture.
Back to Salmon Lake for a relaxing afternoon and nice dinner outside on the picnic table overlooking the lake. Did you miss that post? You will want to check out the park atmosphere for sure.
