Buffalo Battle Finisher
When I ask people who live in Midland/Odessa Texas what they do for fun, it's really hard to get an answer out of them. I understand that. This isn't the most exciting area. There's very few trees or nature paths, no water, no mountains, and not many places to go in town. But no matter where you go, you can always find a way to have fun. Today I was able to run aprox 5k in a mud-run of sorts and it was a blast! I'm so glad I was invited Matt!

Roadtrips (Amarillo/ Dallas)
Amarillo
Amarillo didn't seem to be the most exciting place to visit but I did find the most amazing Italian restaurant, Sava ,(they make their own cheese there! And they inspired me to maybe go to Italy) and got to check out Cadillac Ranch.

Dallas
I went to Dallas just to go see my brother Ethan Tucker play but got to check out the town a bit too. Mostly just walked around but it was neat.

Roadtrips (Corpus Christi/Carlsbad Spelunking)
Corpus
When I went to corpus I spend most of my time at the ocean with friends.
Carlsbad Caverns
When my friend Bianca came to visit I decided to check out the Carlsbad Caverns with her. We booked a Friday tour labeled "difficult" but quickly found that their idea of difficult and our idea of difficult differed greatly. Next time we will book a Saturday "extreme" tour but, nonetheless, we still had a great time! (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g143018-Carlsbad_Caverns_National_Park_New_Mexico-Vacations.html)

Roadtrips (Lubbock/San Angelo)
Lubbock
On my many roadtrips I've taken, I've found myself in Lubbock, Texas a couple of times. The first time was for a Texas Football Game. I do NOT watch football regularly but I enjoy going to games or football parties for the social aspect but it was a blast!

The second time was for rockclimbing at Defy Gravity. I highly recommend this! The owner was super nice, it was a great deal, and all the employees were very helpful. They even change up the walls regularly to make sure no one gets bored with it!
Don't forget to check out the buildings around it. There's an indoor skatepark and lots of old old abandoned buildings that are great for checking out.
San Angelo
most of the time I just passed through San Angelo, but once I went there to visit some friends and had an amazing time swimming nearby.

Roadtrips (Austin Saga)
I've been to Austin, Texas a couple times since my move and was able to find some really neat things. The first time, I went camping by Inks Lake and got to enjoy some great wine tasting tours and nature hikes.
Eating at Tacos and Tequila (so good!)
And, my personal favorite, saw the bats come out from Congress Bridge in Austin. Check out my Youtube video on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfTBpkLH8g8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Roadtrips (San Antonio Chapter)
I've been on several roadtrips since my move to Texas. A sample of them as follows: San Antonio
One of the places I have enjoyed is the Tower of the Americas

Seaworld(it is actually more cost efficient to get a season pass if you go more then once)
San Antonio Botanical Gardens are awesome I would definatly recommend it.
Schlitterbahns is the most laid back awesome waterpark I have ever been to!
Be sure not to miss out on the animal safari or ropes course and caving at Natural Bridge Caverns. (See Also http://wildliferanchtexas.com/?no_redirect=true)
