Aircraft junkyard at the Mexia-Limestone County airport in Texas. I stumbled upon this place while driving back into Texas from Oklahoma.

There is a company here that salvages old and new aircraft. They have a decent sized junk yard that you can wander around, full of oldish planes that have been scrapped or being used to restore others of the same type. There was an old boy hanging around while we were there who allowed us to walk around. He also was very friendly and talked to us about the company and his three tours of Vietnam.

A small gem of a discovery for aviation buffs and HDR photo freaks alike!

Holiday Inn Express Palestine by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The parking was a little sketch. But the property was nice. Very clean. Loved the room and the ac was amazing. The breakfast was nice and our stay was lovely. We'll 100% stay here again. "

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Fairfield - North by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Options are limited in Fairfield! I believe this is the nicest one. We got the suite room (king + sofa bed) and it was spotless. Modern decor and a comfy bed and pillows. Bathroom is updated and shower had good pressure with plenty of hot water. Towels and whatnot were fine. Room has small fridge and microwave. Lobby and facilities are nice, clean and updated/modern. Check-in staff were kind and efficient. FREE breakfast is the best of all other hotels in the area. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, cinnamon rolls, yogurts, fruits, juices, etc. Wifi is just 'ok'. Turned on TV for 10 minutes, but confusing remote control, and on-screen navigation. Channels dominated by weird infomercials; no big deal. The Bad: Light seepage through curtains at night. Because it's off the highway, lots of bright light pollution. Ensure the blackout rolldown shades are tucked in the channels along the window to get it as dark as possible. Heavy drapes may be a nice addition to combat this. If you need a solid night's sleep in a comfortable and clean bed, with a hot varied breakfast in the morning, this is the best option in Fairfield. It's worth the extra $20 or whatever per night compared to other area hotels, in my opinion. "
