Sights of McLennan County, TX

Off the beaten path, the country back roads reveal many different sights. This old country store/gas station was just one of many.
The Old Railroad Rd. bridge was one of my favorites. One can almost hear the faint whistle of a 'phantom locomotive' in the distance while stopped on this one-lane bridge.
You take the high road, I'll take the low. Just keep traveling in either direction long enough and you'll eventually end up back where you started.
Tried to snap this picture while driving. Not good, if you want all the details. Apparently this town has had more than one winning season in years past.
Of course what is West without the 'Czech Stop'. It might almost be worth the trip to drive down this far just for gas, and a big box of kolaches.

There should be more activism like this video. People respond to serious issues when humor is used.
