Travelscope Greetings to All, It’s time for us to begin looking ahead and making plans for our 2017 Travel Schedule. You will find next years Travel Survey in the back of this newsletter. Please take a moment and tell us what you would like to see us offer. For the past two years Washington, DC and a cruise to the Bahamas were third and fourth choices of those that returned their surveys to me. So I thought it was time for me to see if we could accommodate those choices. We are looking at doing Washington, DC, but the date has not been set. In researching for a Bahamas Cruise (which is 7 days and three islands), we found that we could do a Southern Caribbean Cruise 7 nights, but see six islands for about the same price. We chose to do the Southern Caribbean. See complete brochure on pages 10—12. We still have several trips left for this year including our trip to Jefferson. We had to reschedule this one due to all the flooding that has been plaguing the areas in and around Caddo Lake. We have made a few changes to the trip itinerary, but I think this will work much better and no one will feel rushed. Waco, Granbury and Glen Rose scheduled for October 6—8, is going to be a lot of fun. So much to see and do just in Waco. Who knew? Please look these over and sign up as soon as possible. A deposit is required to insure your reservation.

Let’s Explore Historic Jefferson, Texas The Mystic Caddo Lake Thursday, October 20, 2016 $130.00 per person Registration Deadline—September 7 It’s late autumn in East Texas and a perfect time of the year for this one day outing that we had to reschedule due to the flooding in early spring. It’s not too hot and not too cold, just right for us to venture to Jefferson, Texas, home of the mysterious Caddo Lake, which boast as the only natural lake in Texas. Covering over 26,000 acres, half in Texas and half in Louisiana, Caddo sports Spanish moss hanging from the cypress trees and imparts an unforgettable atmosphere of eeriness. Beauty is an understatement. This is indeed a photographers paradise. We will cruise the lake late afternoon and listen for the sounds emanating from the swamp. Arriving early in Jefferson, we will first tour the Excelsior House Hotel. The Excelsior will welcome you as it has welcomed travelers since the late l850’s. Southern charm graces this historic hotel with rich rosewood, cherry and mahogany furnishing. We are on our own for lunch to dine at any of the neat, quaint dining venues located downtown Jefferson. There is Bayou Bakery, The Cork Yard, Auntie Skinner’s Riverboat Club, Austin Street Bistro, The Old Hamburger Store, Kitt’s Kornbread Sandwich Place and Joseph’s Riverport Barbecue. The choice is yours. Time to tour the beautiful 1872 “House of The Seasons” & Gardens. The house is a fine example of the transition period between Greek Revival and Victorian styles of architecture. The most unique features of the house are the cupola and murals. In the cupola each wall contains a different stained glass that creates the illusion of the seasons of the year. After visiting this gorgeous home and gardens, we head back downtown for a time of free shopping or exploring on your own the many tours available. Places you can tour include Jefferson Historical Museum, Museum of Measurement and Time, Scarlett O’Hardy’s Gone With the Wind Museum, Lafayette Street Vintage Car Museum, or you can choose a carriage ride. Nearby the Excelsior is Jay Gould’s private Railroad Car , the “Atlanta.” It is neat to tour with such an interesting history. Oh, don’t forget to stop by The Old General Store for a milk shake or a malt. This store has served East Texas as a hardware Store and a General Store since the 1870's. Enjoy the authentic atmosphere, put a nickel in the juke box, sip on a root beer float, play a game of checkers and cool your heels. They have lots of neat stuff to look at and buy..... 5 cent Coffee, Soda fountain, handmade Pecan Pralines, Blue Bell Ice Cream, Old-Time Candy Counter, Texas jams, jellies, and salsas, Texas souvenirs, Old Time toys, T-shirts, hats & caps, candles, Texas Music, books, greeting cards, antiques, and lots more. A little before four, we will board the motorcoach and head to Karnack, Texas to board pontoon boats for our guided tour of Caddo. Be sure to bring your cameras and binoculars. There over 250 species of birds that make Caddo Lake their home and you never know when you might get that perfect photo. Occasionally you will also see that elusive alligator. Sit back and enjoy the views. Immediately after this tour, we will dock at The Big Pine Lodge for a delicious dinner. Followed by little apple stixs and ice cream for dessert. Now it’s time to head back home with a new appreciation of days gone by and thoughts of the tranquil life of those who live on the banks of the mystic Caddo Lake.

It combines a 150-person cast and crew, live animals, historically accurate costumes, and breath-taking lights, sound and special effects, all of which tell the story of the life of Jesus Christ in modern familyfriendly fashion. Patrons have called it a "life-changing experience", "an outstanding performance", and a "very inspirational" presentation for all audiences. Since its start in 1989, The Promise remains the largest permanent outdoor amphitheater in the State of Texas. It’s time to start heading back east on Day 3 but not before a stop in Clifton, the “Norwegian Capital of Texas.” Since 1954, the awardwinning Bosque Museum has been a “must see” destination for anyone wishing to better experience the rich and diverse history of Clifton and Bosque County.
