I left the rental agency, with a replacement Durango and headed north along I-35 East and then dropped down I-35 West for a straight shot down to the United States 15th largest city - Forth Worth, that was established in 1849 as an army outpost. With clear roads and light traffic, it took less than 30 minutes to find a parking spot and wander over the iconic 40 hectare (98 acre) Stockyards historic district, just in time for their daily re-enactment of a cattle drive with some decent size and well fed longhorn 'hamburgers on the hoof'.
I wandered around for a bit, taking in the historical Western architecture as well as Billy Bob's Texas, which promotes itself as 'The World's Largest Honky Tonk', before settling on a bite to eat at Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que, located just over Stockyard Boulevard.
