Join us on a comfortable luxury bus to visit the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and the Baylor University Mammoth Site.

The Rangers have a heritage that began with the earliest settlements in Texas. They have been compared to other world-famous law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, Scotland Yard, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The museum features historic Ranger badges, Purvis Thompson machine gun and fabulous displays of Ranger memorabilia.

Next, we’ll create some memories on the river as we dine (at our own expense) at Buzzard Billy’s Bar & Grillo (honest). Buzzard Billy’s has been recognized year after year for incredible dishes including seafood, steaks, pastas, and outstanding desserts. For something wonderfully different, try their armadillo eggs and the fried gator fingers.

Then we’ll tour the largest known concentration of prehistoric animals at the Mammoth Site, where 68,000 years ago a group of Columbian Mammoths were caught and killed in a mudslide. Their remains were hidden beneath the earth in the Bosque River Basin until 1978. The site was kept a secret until 2007 when the Waco Mammoth Site was opened.

The bus will depart Texins at 9 a.m. and return about 6 p.m. Cost of $32 per member and $36 per nonmember includes transportation and entry fees. Please register by Aug. 2  by calling TIAA at 214-567-8444.
