It's an interesting story on how I came to be at the Boyd Raceway this (past) Saturday. Basically a…read morefriend of mine is a professional pyro-technician (Is that a word? Anyway, he puts on firework shows). The Boyd Raceway firework show for the 4th of July was rained out and this was the rescheduled day. I was out there to help with the show (setting up, and then loading / re-loading launch tubes during the show - Talk about a blast!). So after showing up well before the races even start, and getting my special "pit pass" wrist band, we start setting up the show. Once that is done, we have some time to kill before the races start and even more time until the show. So I end with a lot of time to do some exploring and watch plenty of racing. This was a very busy night as there were a lot of makeup races due to all the rain earlier in the month. The classes for tonight were: IMCA Modified, IMCA Stock Car, IMCA Southern Sport Mod, IMCA Hobby Stock & Mini Stock and also featured the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Cars & Smiley's 305 Sprint Cars. The sprint cars were particularly amazing as I could not believe the speed they would reach on the rack. Oh, the track. So this is a short oval dirt track, which I do think makes thinks very interesting. It takes a different kind of racing skill to keep it together on a dirt track. Most of the racers did a great job, but some did not. Now factor in that only about 1/3 of the track has any kind of a wall or barrier, and where we were set up for the show was not one of those places. We saw several cars come flying over the banked track. Very thrilling! Even though I was working, this turned out to be a very cool introduction to the Boyd Raceway, and I've kind of made a mental note to come back and enjoy the raceway from the stands. It struck me a a very unique and interesting way to spend a Friday. There is a concession stand, and the food looked OK, though I did not try it. It also seemed bringing a cooler was allowed, but you might want to double check on that. PS. See the website (http://boydraceway.net/directions_to_boyd.htm) for map and location, as Google does not map Private Road 4786 (Yahoo! does though), which is what you want. 4786 is off County Road 4781, just south of FTM 4028. Yes, you are practically in the middle of nowhere!

I managed this camp for nearly 20 years before retiring two years ago. During that time, I was…read morealways the person behind the scenes making sure everyone else was having a good time, comfortable, and relaxed. So, I decided it was time to check Barehide Ranch off my own bucket list and experience it as a guest. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made. I saw many familiar faces along with plenty of new ones. Meeting new people was especially fun because they had no idea who I was or my history with the ranch. As always, everyone was friendly, respectful, and welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed, and people were simply there to enjoy themselves. Barehide Ranch is a rustic, country experience. You won't find a luxury resort with cabana service. What you will find is a beautiful place where people can relax, connect, and enjoy the outdoors. I spent time by the pool, relaxed in the hot tub, and enjoyed conversations with people from all walks of life. Fridays and Saturdays are full of energy and activities, while Sunday brings a slower pace where you can simply unwind after a fun-filled weekend. What impressed me most was seeing the same culture I loved when I retired still thriving today. Respect and privacy remain the foundation of the experience, and that is what makes people feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. Over the years, I saw many first-time visitors arrive with uncertainty. I remember countless couples where the wife would say, "This was my husband's idea. I'm not sure about this. I'll probably be wrapped up in a towel the whole weekend." I would always smile and tell them that was perfectly fine. Then, later, I would see them at the pool enjoying themselves, embracing the freedom and having a great time. Many would eventually say, "This is great! I wish I had done this years ago." My response was always the same: "I know, right?" If visiting a nudist club is on your bucket list, Barehide Ranch is the perfect place to start. I only wish I had experienced it as a guest years ago instead of always being the one working to make sure everyone else was having fun. I'll definitely be back.

I could've gone to six flags for free to stand in line. So we asked for a refund, staff gave us some static about it but the owner ultimately gave it to us (2 thumbs up). People were jumping out of line and getting fast passes and they were only letting fast passes in. Which is where the money ruse is. Stand in line for 2 hours without the line moving, so people upgrade for additional $$ and you only let those folks in, while creating a longer line for regular payers. At the point I went to the cashier and asked for the refund the doors hadn't opened in 45 minutes. Prior to that it was roughly 28 minutes between groups. We asked the cashier to explain why it's taking so long...so it's 39 rooms in total...the first room is a 15 minute "video" about the "haunting" and then they hold you in the 2nd room for 10 minutes...do the math. 3-5 minutes to go through 37 rooms. It cannot possibly be THAT scary.

This was our first visit to the Texas Scottish Festival, and it was great! I'll be frank upfront…read moreand say that our main draw was one of the bands (Jiggernaut; one of my friends is in the band and they're awesome, check 'em out!), but we were pleasantly surprised at all there was on offer, even though we only attended on Sunday afternoon. The food choices had dwindled a bit (no Scottish eggs, I had a sad), but what was left was pretty good from our samplings, although perhaps not strictly Scottish fare (jambalaya, anyone?). I'm not a huge beer drinker, but there were plenty of brews available and and a number of locations. As for the non-food, non-band offerings: There was a huge marketplace spread throughout the grounds, selling everything from period correct clothing, jewelry and other items, plus lots of family shields/coats-of-arms etc. Many of the vendors were dressed in period clothing as well, lending a good feel to the whole event. If there was a knock at all, it was that some of the cable protectors placed across walkways were too tall for my wife's handicap cart; they need to consider some ramps on top of these in the future. Other than that, keep up the great work!

This is an event our family looks forward to every year!…read more The music and musicianship is unparalleled and it's great to see members from different bands stop in and play with one-another. It gives a real feeling of camaraderie and family. And that feeling of camaraderie and unity goes beyond the music to the people attending the festival. Everyone is friendly and forthcoming. While the emphasis is primarily on the music and the games, there are a lot of great events that go overlooked. (I mentioned this to the yelper who complained that it's just about drinking beer and wearing kilts.) The opening ceremony, the dog show, the many presentations on Scottish families and culture, the discussions you strike up at the clan tents,and most of all the Sunday Morning Church Service. I'm not the most religious guy in the world, but I find the interdenominational service very moving. And it's the only worship service where I can bring my dog, as many others do. So it's no just interdenominational, it's interbreed! To really get the best out of the Festival, go online and check the schedule. Many of the events happen only once over the course of the Festival, so don't risk the possibility of missing out on events you might possibly want to see. We'll see you there!
