Interesting Sights?

Headed out of the crack of the lubbottock of Texas Monday morning. I plan on taking the 114 route home. Any historical, culinary, or otherwise interesting sights or sites on that road? I'd love to stop at a great house of meat (NTTAWWT) since my mostly vegitarian wife will be at home.

Lots of mesquite trees and dead armadillos.

there are a few places I'd recommend on 380. Never done the 114 route.

couch 'em-

if you get into Seymour TX, the Rock Inn Cafe used to have excellent Chicken Fried Steak...been some time since I was through there, but I remember it with some delight, and the need to refuel/other-things around then anyway...

skunks...count 'em from Tarrant County west...averaged out to about 1 every 3 miles IIRC the last fall I headed to Lubbock.

It would have been cool if you could have mounted a dash-cam in your vehicle and had streaming video all the way to Lubbock for that exciting drive for all of us sitting around in nursing homes with nuttin to do all day!

Don't worry, I'll send Oscar to visit you this weekend.

If it's anything like 2006 there are plenty of cops to wave to along the way. All it took was going 10 over in a 70 for one to stop me for a little chat.

If I recall from my elementary school days, the Butts family is from Seymour.

And they live under the bleachers.

Yes. I have been to the Rock Inn Cafe many times, though not in the last 15 years. Do stop in at Seymour and shout hey to the old Mustang Lynn Thornhill, whose family still has a business on main street.

Read up on the 7777 (four 7's Ranch)
You drive through it for a long time.
Yes, it was won in a poker game with 4x7's.

thank you sir, for the correction...

my last journey on that road caused me to have delusions of numbers (7 to 6)

meat - Dairy Land about 2 blocks southeast of the square in Jacksboro (on your left)

history - Olney home of the flying tractor and annual one arm dove hunt
