We have been having a great time with our friends, Kathy and Ken, Barb and Duane, and of course Pam and Harold. These folks are all Michigandians. They had told us of a Michigan delicacy “Koegel’s hot dogs and how they are the best anywhere. So I went online and had some shipped to the Rio Grande Valley. For Super Bowl I made a pot of no bean chili and we cooked the dogs on the BBQ.
Everyone enjoyed them and I must say they were excellent.
A demonstration of the Michigandian technique.
Gorgie asked if anyone needed a fork and knife and was promptly shouted down.
I’m sure we were the only folks who had Koegle’s in Texas for the Super Bowl.
Down in Brownsville they have a really great zoo ( Gladys Porter Zoo ). Pam, Harold, Kathy, Gorgie, and I went down there for the day Monday, it was fun to see all the animals, they have some great exhibits.
Being a weekday it was not crowded at all, so we were able to take our time and enjoy the animals.
There were some two legged characters around as well.
Our next adventure took us to the King Ranch. Everyone loaded up on a tour bus for the 100 mile trip north. At 850,000 acres the King Ranch is the largest ranch in the world.( LINK to King Ranch )
Ready to hit the trail.
“Lolo”
Lolo talked to us about some of the history of the ranch, and how he was the first person to ride Assault the only triple crown winner from Texas in 1946. He has lived and worked on the ranch all his life. The tour was very nice and the ranch was interesting to see.
We have been very busy here the last month and tomorrow is our time to move on, sad we really enjoyed our stay, and all the new friends we have made.
Kathy and Ken

We will miss these friends and hope to meet up again soon.
