Me, too. Once you get past Liberty Hill heading west, it's not bad at all. Beautiful hill country drive.

AC is my hometown and I live here now. I have a bunch of buddies from Olney that I bet you know.twk said:
Highway 25 runs through Archer City, home of Larry McMurtry and the real life setting for the movie "The Last Picture Show." The Royal Theater is on the left. In the book, the town was called Thalia, and in the movie, Anarene (a ghost town between Archer City and Olney). As an Olney native, I always got a kick out of the refences to Olney in the movie--they didn't have a doctor or hospital in Archer City, so they went to Olney for the doctor visit and for Sonny's hospital stay. Then, when the preacher's kid kidnapped a young girl, the deputy tells the sheriff, "He's taking her to Olney to molest her."
Probably so. My family has ranched in Archer County for a long time. Our place is out by the "Space Station."TwoMarksHand said:AC is my hometown and I live here now. I have a bunch of buddies from Olney that I bet you know.twk said:
