The Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills is probably beyond my means, but a person can dream!

Dream a litttle dream with me… Would you shop on Rodeo Drive? Visit Art galleries or wander around History museums? Stroll gardens or tour historic sites? Play golf or drive down Melrose Avenue? Walk through Chinatown?

Write down your fantasy Beverly Hills vacation and email it blogger (at) cooladz.com. If your fantasy trip is the best, it will be used as a guest post here on Texas RV Travel and you will receive full credit and a linkback to your site.

Willie Nelson croons, “My heroes have always been cowboys.” In another song, he warns, “Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.”

This diacotomy of feeling cast confusion on the whole cowboy issue. Is it some type of conflicted cowboy syndrome or a love/hate relationship with the cowboy ideal?

Willie Nelson’s newest song,” Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond Of Each Other)” added yet another legend to the cowboy mythos that was the subject of the movie Brokeback Mountain.

None of this matters because the cowboy mystique, however you define it, is alive and well in Texas! It exists in me, and in anyone who has ever seen the vast reaches of the Southwest and wished they could visit the open range as it was 150 years ago. I long to ride a wild mustang, hair flying behind me, face to the wind; just me, my horse and an incredible sunset. Fade to black…

Did you ever dream of being a cowboy or cowgirl? Have you ever dressed up for Go Western or Go Texan Day as a cowhand? Maybe you attended a rodeo in worn jeans, cowboy shirt with pearl snap buttons, heeled boots, a hankerchief around your neck, and a straw cowboy hat on your head. Feed your inner cowboy or cowgirl, and go see Ride Around the World : A Cowboy Adventure on the giant screen (IMAX).

Ride Around the World follows the development of horse-and-cattle culture from its earliest stages by transporting viewers to little known corners of the world where remote and exotic cowboy cultures live and work as they did centuries ago. In the process, through the immersive experience of the giant screen, it allows viewers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride with these authentic cowboys and cowgirls.

The IMAX Theatre is located in the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum at 1800 N. Congress Avenue at the corner of Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. in Austin, Texas. Call (512) 936-IMAX or visit www.TheStoryofTexas.com for showtimes. If you do not live in Texas, check with the IMAX in your location and experience Ride Around the World : A Cowboy Adventure soon.

The Cave Without a Name is located north of Boerne. This cave is family-owned and is one of the most beautiful in Texas.

Enter The Cave Without a Name through the man-made entrance housed in a wooden building and walk down several flights of stairs (126 steps) to start the tour.

Eventually you will view six remarkable rooms, each one unique. This living cavern is filled with soda straws, cave draperies, flowstones, rimstone dams, helictites, pop-corn, pools, grapes, draperies, cave bacon, stalactites and stalagmites. Sometimes musical events are held in the Queen’s Throne Room to take advantage of the wonderful natural acoustics of the cavern.

The tour takes approximately 60 minutes and tours depart throughout the day. The year-round temperature is 66 degrees so the Texas heat is no problem! Pictures and video recorders are welcome.

Directions: Head north from San Antonio on IH-10. On the outskirts of Boerne, take Hwy 87 (Main Street), continue until you reach FM 474, turn right (east) and journey for a short distance to Kreutzberg Road and turn right. Follow the signs to The Cave Without a Name.

Post updated 7/6/07.
