So, dude ranches, anybody?
Or how about references to web sites where they're reviewed or described?
Gaye's from OZ, and might not know the reviewing sites in the US for such
things.
I've tried Yelp.com (nope), and
tripadvisor.com (maybe the site's "Texas -->forums" area to search for a
discussion of them?)
If she were coming to California, I'd suggest Sunset Magazine or Westways from
the Auto Club as places to start for regional travel info.
Are there similar publications for Texas that could help her?

(Just don't go where you went in the bottom of the 8th inning last night.
Please.)

Hi all
I am going to the SHA conference in Texas and want to look around Texas
afterwards to see how they present their historic heritage. So:
. what are the best must see western/historic heritage attractions
in the state (I am already going to the Alamo) are there any natural wonders
I should not miss?
. I am on my own so does anyone know of any great tours (small
groups though not bus loads) or ways to organise for a personalised tour/s.
I had a great time in Arizona when a docent of the Flagstaff museum drove me
around her part of the state and introduced me to all the locals she knew
who did public archaeology or archaeology. A student at the uni also took me
on a personalised day tour of the Painted Desert. I paid the student for the
tour and the docent by buying up big at her museum as she would not take
payment. Satisfaction all around.
. Can anyone recommend a dude ranch experience. There are lots to
choose from but it's hard to tell the duds from the good ones from the
advertising.
I have always wanted to go to Texas, having been raised on a steady diet of
B grade westerns. Now I have the chance I don't want to miss anything.
Cheers Gaye
