Exploring Lufkin
Exploring in and around Lufkin, TX, we were impressed. Although not an extra large town -- only about 37,000 folks -- it is a reasonably wealthy place with some beautiful homes, museums, a college, great fishing lake and surrounded by both private and national forests. We spent only a couple of days so our analysis is reasonably superficial.

Very impressive murals depicting Lufkin history and this one about Cotton Square. All done by artist Lance Hunter.
