February is National Cancer Prevention Month. Cancer has won too many battles with our loved ones in both the human and animal kingdoms. Let's join together and fight this battle to win.

Here Are Some Ways You Can Get Involved in National Cancer Prevention Month

Donate Platelets: Platelets are critical in treating millions fighting cancer. Without a platelet transfusion, cancer patients may not be able to receive the treatments they need. Visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment.

Attend Community Events: Participate or volunteer in local events to raise support or cancer awareness.

Tell Your Story: As a survivor, your experience can inspire and encourage others facing similar challenges.

Be an Advocate: Speak out for more research and keep giving support to those who have cancer.

Donate: Consider giving financial gifts to institutions researching cancer and programs supporting patients and survivors.

Support a Survivor: Call a cancer survivor and tell them you care and believe in them.

Let us all join together to fight against cancer. Let's not lose this battle alone. Let's win this battle together.

Dumas, Texas is home great hotels, great restaurants and several huge industries that are the largest in Texas and the USA. These are just some of the amazing things to discover where US 87 and US 287 come together. We spent a few days exploring Dumas which is 45 minutes north of Amarillo and I-40. It's also half way between Dallas and Denver which makes Dumas a popular overnight stop for road trippers traveling between these two popular destinations.

LIVE IN TERRELL, TEXAS with Brett Allen on Roads To Adventure on US 80 in East Texas about a half hour drive from Dallas to the east. Rosa’s Mexican Cocina next to the QT is probably the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to for flavor and the service is among the best you’ll find anywhere so I had to share this place with you. It’s family owned and operated with love without a doubt! I started out with chips and salsa which the salsa is served warm and it’s incredible. I then had the birria taco plate with the charros beans which both were the best I’ve had anywhere and the rice which I’m not usually a rice fan - this was too good to stop eating and then for dessert it was the churros - 2 of them which are large and generously filled with a caramel type filling which was warm and delicious. Again the best I’ve had. To me Rosa’s knocked it out of the park with everything I had. Her and her family are amazing people and their passion shows✨

We begin our 72 mile road trip series on US 80 in Cochise County in Southeastern Arizona with this first episode at the Mescal Movie Set a couple miles north of I-10 about 25 miles East of Tucson near Benson, AZ. The historic Mescal Movie Set has had over 80 movies filmed here including Tombstone, The Quick and the Dead, Young Riders, Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. It went bankrupt during Covid and a local ranching family saved it from demolition and now movies are being filmed here, tours given and special events held once again.

You'll be amazed at all we discovered in Gonzales such as Gonzales being the birth place of Texas independence starting with the defiant phrase "Come and take it!" Gonzales is home to an amazing amount of historic buildings, several of which are said to be haunted and we show you security camera footage in a theater being renovated and slated to open late 2024 showing orbs. There is so much history and a lot of great things to do and experience! We hope you enjoy Gonzales, Texas as much as we do!
