I grew up on the coastal fringe of east Texas, but had lots of relatives on my father's side that still lived up in the Big Thicket. I loved to visit, and I learned to like armadillo stew, among other things.
Later, we lived in Jasper for a couple of years while I was supervising a project over near Toledo Bend Reservoir for the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, and I really got to know the folks who lived out in the Piney Woods. I would have been happy to stay longer, but the project ran out and I got a job teaching at Kansas State University. I went back regularly to visit until my favorite aunt, the last of my close relatives over there, passed away.
Don't miss the humidity and the ticks, but otherwise, I have mostly fond memories.

For me it's only a thirty mile trip to east Texas. Lots of nice folks there. I feel sorry for people who live where there are few/no trees.

Like no other place on earth. But after 20 years I still have to sometimes translate for my wife when she’s talking to my relatives

What are people in E Texas jealous of? Fancy trailers. There is East Texas & there is Deep East Texas, vast difference.

It is what is usually planted by the timber companies. what about longleaf pine? much of it being planted by private landowners? just curious. my mistake on the loblolly. maybe it's the slash pine that doesn't do well there?

It all does well. I’m pretty sure Longleaf, shortleaf, slash, and loblolly are all native.

For the Texicans on here, is McAllen considered E Texas? I spent about a month in Brownsville in July on a project ... pure he!!. 99% humidity and 100 degrees. About 10% of the population isn't Mexican. Drug problems, illegal problems, no thanks. About all there was to do after work was walk the mall that had AC, I didn't leave my AC cooled office much . I guess the mexican food was good, there was that.

About the only nice thing I have to say.

I spend some time in Panola County. Great rifle range, people have always been good, even Wal Mart is decent in Carthage. I was in the Walmart in Carthage maybe 3 years ago (?) They didn't sell cold beer, had to buy it off the floor luke warm.....Have they finally got a beer cooler yet? Hunted along the Sabine river and never saw a pig. Some big ass deer though. Had some damn good food somewhere along 59 heading up to hit 20 back to Dallas. Boudin balls and fried catfish.
