For those that were born around 1970, boy are you going to have a flash back. We visited the outdoor set of “Dallas.” Last time I checked I was born in 1997; so I didn’t have much of a interest in it. I guess I didn’t care for much of it because I know nothing about it.

There was a short museum full of newspaper articles, pictures, and all kinds of other memorabilia. At 11:15 we had a tour. Just a short distance from the museum is the house where they filmed the outdoor scenes of Dallas. The house was already there, and a home for a family. Because of that they did not allow them to use the inside of their house. Instead they had a set in California which was five times the size of the real house.

After getting a small introduction to Dallas and the house; we went to explore the house. Some of the rooms had ropes at the doorway, and some didn’t. The house is 6000 square feet. They also have horses and longhorn. My favorite animal was the miniature pony.

Once we left the farm we went to El Paso Tex-Mex Café. I got nachos, rice, and a salad. Before we went back to the motorhome, we went Wal-Mart. At 5:30 we got back to the motorhome.

Hey wait a second. FYI, I remember those shows and was actually wondering if you were going to see that house when I heard you were in that area. I actually was watching the reruns on Soap Net when I lived in my Windsor apartment.
