Over the last week we have been in Bullard, Texas at a campground just a bit south of Tyler. Texas is a wet and dry state when looking for a drink of beer.
Of Texas’s 254 counties, 46 are completely dry, 169 are partially dry or “moist”, and 39 are entirely wet. The vast majority of entirely wet counties are in southern border regions of Texas near Mexico, or in the south central part of the state. The patchwork of laws can be confusing, even to residents. In some counties, only 4% beer is legal. In others, beverages that are 14% or less alcohol are legal. In some “dry” areas, a customer can get a mixed drink by paying to join a “private club,” and in some “wet” areas a customer needs a club membership to purchase liquor by-the-drink.
Well last night and today and most of tomorrow we have found that Texas is indeed a very wet state as it has been rained on for 12 hours causing flash floods and road closers in many of the counties around us
.
We have decided to just stay put as we don’t have anywhere important to go until later in the week.
So for now I will just keep an eye on the water and hope it does not float us away.
I want to be more diligent with my posts, so keep an eye out for more interesting posts in the near future.
