Tonight at 9pm my weekly Lone Star Adventure feature will again focus on close-to-home travel options this summer -- and how to find them.  I'm zeroing in on White Rock Lake -- but promising to help you find whatever is close to you.  You start by getting on www.myfoxdfw.com and then finding the Lone Star Adventure page (search box works)

Bookmark it, please! 

Anyway, once you get there, you will find a cool tool box with Google Earth and Google Maps tabs.  A web producer here (best in the world) named Tracy Delatte has plotted all the Lone Stars from the last couple of years on Google Maps and it gives you a terrific way to navigate around and hunt for them. 

Here's the really cool part:  last week the Lone Star Adventure page with the Google map features won an Emmy Award!!

Tracy Delatte won yours truly (and herself) an Emmy.  I can always use the added hardware.  It looks good in the office at home.  Thank you Tracy.  And, check out the Lone Star page.  It's Emmy worthy.

Congratulations on your emmy!

Thanks again Rich for the visit to New York, Texas ZipLine Adventures in New York, Texas and the great story you put together.

It has really boosted our business with lots of people from Dallas and surrounding areas that saw it on Fox4.

We even had a couple that had just finished the segway tour in downtown Dallas before heading our way for their zipline adventure!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks again,

RICH ON THE ROAD I am blessed with a truly remarkable job that for decades now has permitted me to see corners of the world, far and near. When I'm not on the road for Fox4 News in Dallas/Fort Worth, I'm often traveling with my wife Catherine -- occasionally on mission trips in Africa or Latin America with our home church (Prince of Peace Lutheran in Carrollton). My contribution to this page began largely as a Travel-blog -- sharing current and many of my past experiences in traveling America and the globe. I'm tryng, as we go along, to wade into a wider range of topics without getting in too much trouble. Richard Ray
