But, to be on the safe side, let’s ask BarNone and MKLady to check out the places (15 stops that

represent 32 places) we are considering for our adventure!  However, we want to minimize their expense

 and mileage in making these 15 stops, so……

Here is what you do!  Go up to edit and do 'select all' and, then, 'copy' to make a copy of this whole file. Then, open your Microsoft Word program and open a blank file.  Under 'format' select 'background' and select dark green for your color.  Once you have a green background, place your cursor on the page and under edit, select 'paste" You will now have a working copy of this file. (you will have to scroll up to see the text as you will be at the bottom of the file after you paste) Save it as 'New Braunfels' You will use this copy on your computer to plan the trip!

As you use Google to decide the order of stops to achieve the shortest trip, copy the 1st couple of words

 in the name of a stop and paste  it in the destination "___". Type in the "mileage" in the "____"! Use

 the addresses given for each stop for your calculations and make use of the Google "Directions" feature! 

  to determine the mileage between stops. The links given  provide more info about the  stops if you are

 interested. Notice that some stops include several  places of interest..just consider the main  15 stops in

 your planning..

Can you plan their trip with the fewest total miles from their starting

 point to their ending point…which is the Walmart gas pump at 715 West US Hwy 79, Rockdale, TX ?

Their 1st  stop will be the Riverside Haven B&B 1491 Edwards Boulevard, NB ( riversidehaven.com )

 

The one who does the best job of planning this trip will get 1st shot at finding the remaining gold coins

from last years Treasure Hunt using a metal detector when we meet for our Ranch Reunion in April.
