East Texas Piney Woods

Bastrop may have the "Lost Pines", but East Texas never lost theirs; they just made 2 x 4s out of them. Homes range from antebellum to pre-assembled. Palestine city vehicles have Dogwood blossoms painted on their car doors. Jefferson reminds us that Texas too, had "Riverboat Days".

East Texas is a good place to adjust before entering or after leaving Louisiana. If you're not sure about going to the Bayou State, you can stay at Caddo Lake and be Uncertain. Tyler is about as civilized as it gets, Gladewater is the town saved by antiques, and Marshall was once the Capital of Missouri. Kilgore and Gregg County's boomtown days are hard to believe even after 65 years. Take your time and have a Longview.
