It was built in the late 1800's and was originally used as a sanitarium. We had the pleasure of talking to Wanda who owns the restaurant and she told us some of the history of the building. The food was outstanding and the building itself has a rich history.
Upon arrival in Glen Rose we rode into the historic district to have dinner at the Hollywood & Vine. It's not always easy to figure out what pictures will tell the story and unfortunately you often think of a picture that would have been good after you get home, when its too late. Looking back now though I wish we had gotten some different pictures that would have shown some of the road that crossed through the water we had to ride through. How could you pass by those things without stopping for pictures? I couldn't argue, and didn't. He defense when I complained? "I just kept seeing good potential picture opportunities and didn't want to pass them up!" There were a lot of wildflowers beginning to bloom, bluebonnets, baby cows following their mother around the fields, Paluxy River, and scenic landscapes. I got a bit frustrated with scott this time because he kept stopping suddenly to take pictures without signaling what he was doing. That was nice though and it gave us the opportunity to take in the scenery. A lot of the road was covered with loose gravel so traveling speed was only about 35 mph. It was an impressive ride along super small back roads that crossed and snaked beside the Paluxy River. We headed out towards Granbury, TX then on to Bluff Dale, TX which is the beginning of the route. Scott had a new route planned that he wanted to try which wasn't long so this seemed a good time to try it since it was already well into the afternoon.
It was around 2pm by the time we were able to get going. With rain moving in over the night leading into Sunday we still wanted to get a bit of riding in.
#DINOSAUR VALLEY STATE PARK IN GLEN ROSE TX STRANGE STORY INSTALL#
It took us all morning to install that opener and by then we were hungry so we ate at home. The old one died so we needed to replace it. Our Saturday began by installing a new garage door opener.
