The Texas White House is the LBJ Ranch House, the home of President Lyndon B. Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird. Leaders from around the world visited the Johnsons here, and during the Johnson Administration it became known as the Texas White House. President Johnson was the first President to create a functioning White House away from Washington. In 1972 the Johnsons donated the Texas White House to the National Park Service and the American people. ?? Log image uploaded from Geocaching® app

The airplane that is sometimes jokingly referred to as "Air Force One-Half," although any plane that carries the president of the United States is Air Force One when it's in the air. This Lockheed JetStar, now permanently displayed at the LBJ Ranch near Stonewall, Texas, flew Lyndon Johnson in and out of the ranch when he was vice president and president in the 1960s. ??

On Christmas Eve, visited the boyhood home of Lyndon B. Johnson in Johnson City, Texas. The President lived here from the age of five until his high school graduation in 1924. The home is furnished in the early to mid-1920s period and as such depicts a rural Texas lifestyle of 100 years ago. ?? Log image uploaded from Geocaching® app

Welcome to Austin, Texas!!! ??
Celebrating my birthday weekend by visiting the Texas State Capitol Building. This is my 21st State Capitol. Designed in 1881 by architect Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed from 1882 to 1888. The Texas State Capitol is 302.64 feet (92.24 m) tall, making it the sixth-tallest state capitol and one of several taller than the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.

This Cavern was discovered by the Texas Highway Department drilling team in the spring 1963 during the construction of an overpass for Interstate 35. The cavern was opened to the public in 1966. Being that it was found during the Space Race, they thought it would be good publicity to name it the Inner Space Cavern to push people to visit other worlds on Earth.

The piece is called simply “Eye”, and was created by artist Tony Tasset in 2007. It stands 30 feet tall, and is modeled after Tasset’s own baby blues. This enormous, hyper-realistic eyeball with streaky red veins and all can be found outside of the swanky Joule Hotel in Downtown Dallas off Main Street. Log image uploaded from Geocaching® app

Had a great Thanksgiving last week with family and I hope all that celebrate did too! One last cache to highlight in Arizona before going back to Dallas, Texas. Found this cache on a mountain trail in a box, the Millennium Falcon. A true find for any Star Wars fan. Ironically, I dropped a Captain Kirk trackable. ????

Stopping by an old warehouse in downtown Phoenix where the entire surface is covered with highway signs. Signs like “Do Not Pass,” “Reduced Speed Ahead,” and “Keep Right Except to Pass.” There are more than 500 of them. You will notice that integrated into the signs are the numbers 1912 and 2012, denoting Arizona’s 100 years of statehood. ???? Log image uploaded from Geocaching® app

Show Low was named by the turn of card. Two early settlers, Corydon Cooley and Marion Clark, decided there wasn’t enough room for both of them in the community and agreed to let a game of cards decide who was to get the 100,000 acre ranch and who was to move on. The card game went on through the night and according to the story, Clark said to Cooley, “If you can show low, you win.” Cooley turned up the deuce of clubs and replied, “show low it is.” ????
