First up was a drive from Wildcatter Ranch down into Fort Worth via a group of car dealerships with some of the largest flags I have ever seen. We started off in Fort Worth with a visit to the Stockyards.

Next up was a visit to the ‘Cultural District’ and the Kimbell Art Museum, which was pretty small, but had one of the best collections I’ve seen.
