Tour Update for Waco Trip
This weekend (July 8th), we have a day trip to Waco. Here is the link to our maps for the trip and some ideas for our time in Waco. The trip is pretty direct but much nicer/relaxing than driving the Interstates down to Waco and is geared toward a family-friend outing in a near city.
Start Point: QuikTrip in Mansfield at 1590 E Broad Street Mansfield, TX 76063
Start Time: 8:00a
Please let us know if you will join us by emailing tours@lscbmwcca.org
Tour Update for Let’s Eat Cafe (Links to maps)
Raymond Mimick will be leading the tour this Saturday. There is plenty of room for additional cars on the tour but the reservations are currently full for the restaurant.
We have a nice afternoon drive followed by a gourmet meal at the Let’s Eat Café in Bluff Dale, Texas, scheduled for Saturday, May 27. We’ll meet at the Home Depot parking lot in Cleburne, TX at 2:00 pm with tanks full and bladders empty. (HD is located at 212 W Katherine P Raines Rd, Cleburne – nw corner of hwy 174 and hwy 67)
Our circuitous tour is 170 miles of beautiful north Texas roads with a planned “nature break” in Hico. We’ll arrive in Bluffdale at 5:30 pm for our 6:00 pm seating at Let’s Eat Cafe. Curren Dodd is the proprietor and is a classically trained chef.
Regarding rain situations: Knowing most of us had an adventure in the rain on our trip down to Fredericksburg, we’ll keep an eye on it but if we see flash flood warnings, we’ll probably meet at the Circle K in Benbrook/Ft Worth (8000 Winscott Rd, Fort Worth, TX 76126) at 4:15p for an hour’s drive down to Bluffdale via 377. Watch your emails and Facebook for any update on that one.
See you Saturday @2:00p in Cleburne,
