Day 82 - Lots of adventures today. "Pioneer Plaza honors Dallas’ cowboy past by celebrating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas. Pioneer Plaza features native landscaping with a flowing stream and waterfall with a re-creation of a cattle drive in the form of bronze statues of longhorns being driven by three horse riding cowboys.
Each sculpture was created by Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas. The sculptures are believed to be the largest bronze sculptures of their type in the world." We all had fun posing with the cattle. Sherry had an awful misstep trying to navigate the rocks over stream. Her camera and phone also went into the drink with her. Steve M. did an excellent job troubleshooting the electronics. We're hoping when they dry out they will work. Unfortunately Sherry, Norm, Vicky and Steve were not able to make it back in time for the book depository museum. When we were through in Dallas we drove to Chuck and Donna Samuels in Lucas for a wonderful BBQ. Scrumptious - Yum! If anyone left hungry it was their own fault.
