Gainesville, Texas - 09/30/10

We arrrived in Thackerville, OK on Tuesday afternoon. We're staying at the Red River Ranch RV Resort for 9 days. It is just across the Red River from Gainesville, Texas. Yesterday we went to Gainesville and visited the Morton Museum of Cooke County. It was a rather small museum, but interesting. The lady that ran the museum suggested that we go on the driving tour of the historical homes in the city, which we did. She also suggested a couple of places for lunch and the Backstage Cafe next to the historic State Theater sounded great, so we went there for lunch. It was fantastic! The food and service were excellent and the portions were huge. We brought home a whole bag of leftovers. We may have to return there before we leave the area.
