    Driving down for the seminar in February. Family is coming with me and they want to see the sights, eat the food and maybe do some hiking. Any recommendations?

    None, sorry. This is not a "pretty" part of the world.

    I disagree. Most Texans run off and buy some ground in Colorado for the postcard "beauty" but I think the rugged, though flat to rolling, terrain of the plains has it's own beauty. The problem in Texas is it almost all private ground so hiking opportunities are limited.

    Depending on your travel route you might consider a stop in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in southwest Oklahoma for a hike. This area was set aside by presidents McKinley and T. Roosevelt and is the oldest wildlife refuge in the country. This refuge helped restore populations of Rocky Mountain Elk and American Bison to the plains. Both herds are still present on the refuge in great numbers today. Lots of trails for hiking. Stop in Meers for a burger.

    How about the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge? It's only an hour away, they can frolic with the bison and wild longhorns and there's some great hiking. I spent the summer of 90 at Ft. Sill and pretty much every weekend was spent hiking and camping.

    What about the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum?

    I forgot about that. And the famous Falls. Definite must-sees.
