While in Waco, we visited the Mammoth National Monument. On a spring day in 1978, Paul Barron and Eddie Bufkin embarked on a search for arrowheads and fossils near the Bosque River. To their surprise, the men stumbled upon a large bone eroding out of a ravine. This ended up being a huge discovery of Columbian Mammoths.

On Saturday, we took a shot drive to Waco Texas.
Our primary purpose was to visit the Magnolia Market in Waco. Pam loved the shopping and the entire atmosphere. It’s a great tourist opportunity, but also a great gathering place for the locals. Everything is done right and picture perfect. Food Trucks, Sweat Tea and Cup Cakes.
Pam wrote a personal note to Jo and Chip in the guest book.
We had lunch at The Backyard. Very good barbeque and nice atmosphere. Huge stage in the backyard; the music must be great on the weekend.

At the end of our stay at Palm Creek, Pam got lucky and was able to take the “Bowl Turning” class; someone cancelled. The class took 6 days to complete the bowl and cost $130. There were 5 students and each one made a unique bowl.
The bottom is from a solid piece of Cherry, then a Dark Walnut Ring and finally, a Babinga Ring. The rings are made up of 12 wedge shaped pieces. A real challenge, but the bowl turned out great.
