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.
