CrissCrossing Texas Travel Ezine

Welcome To CrissCrossing Texas!

CrissCrossing Texas is a rambling account of Texas' beauty, uniqueness, food and lodging. The writers at CrissCrossing Texas will be documenting our travels, day trips and daily living across the Lone Star State with comments and suggestions based on places we have been and things we have enjoyed. We will use our knowledge of Texas history, geography, geology, ecology and folklore gained through our travels, experiences, Texas public school education, puberty and other life forming events we have experienced in Texas as our guide. Our opinions will be our own, and they may change over time. But they will not be bought, rather reflect our true feelings about the places, people, animals and surrounding we encounter. Texas has a great variety of people, places, nature and events and we plan on sharing with our readers many hidden gems across the state. We will share its beauty, uniqueness, friendliness with the world and help create a greater understanding of the beautiful fiber that creates our home. We hope you enjoy CrissCrossing Texas with us and check back often.
