Besides having a goal of seeing all 400 National Parks, we also want to see all the Presidential Museums. The last thirteen presidents have their own library association. We have seen all those but the two Bush ones in Texas. Knowing that this Library group gets some funding from the Feds, Aimee calls ahead to make sure they are open. She gets a recording but no mention of a shutdown. From Huntsville it is an hour west to College Station, home of Texas A&M University and George H Bush Library. We arrive early to beat the traffic. On the door we see this sign. Aimee calls the Library line again to see if there was a late addition. Only when she dialed “0” in an attempt to reach a human did she get the closed message. I am a little peeved because we drove a couple hours out of the way in a gas guzzling motorhome to stop here.

We spend the day traveling west through Texas only stopping in the Hill Country town of Fredericksburg for a short break. We stroll the shops lining the towns main street.
The next day we drive non-stop arriving in Tucson after dark.
