I woke up about 8 and played games until after 9. I was just waiting for it to warm up enough to go shooting. After getting up, pet stuff, breakfast, and loading the truck we went to the club.
We stopped and talked with the shoot for the cure people for awhile. Mark has a whole lot of people doing this one. Then we went up to the castle to sign in to shoot.
The place is really impressive. It's at the top of a hill with panoramic views. We got a card and a cart and went shooting. We didn't buy ammo - it was $15/box. The course was hilly so the cart was mandatory. It was somewhat challenging, but nothing compared to San Antonio. My back was improved, but it was still painful, especially when I was getting in and out of the cart.
When we got back we said hi to Mark, he was busy earlier. He promised us a cart tomorrow. Yeah. It was about 1 when we were done, so we went to the restaurant next door. It was really good - down home Texas food.
The last stop was a museum that covered the history of the town that used to be there. It was named Thurber and at its height had 10,000 people. It was a company town based on coal mining and brick laying. When they closed down the company sold all the buildings in town. All that,s left are about 3 buildings and a 140 foot brick chimney. It's impressive.
The museum was really good. It covered the whole 50 year history of the town. We spent over an hour there.
When we got home it was surfing. Ellen didn't want to cook, so I had a frozen dinner. After dinner was all surfing.
