Looking out on the 9 mile ridge above lies a valley where an Indian trail and later a pioneer road crossed. In 1846 this became known as McKee's Gap after Thomas McKee led a group of Presbyterians here from Tennessee. Around 1900 John Wesley Love developed a 600 acre Peach Orchard there and this point became known as Love's Lookout.

| Thank you Cooley Bay Winery, a Harvest Host in Van Alstyne, TX, for letting us spend Sat. night with you. We won't have far to go tomorrow. We are heading to a state park about 40 miles west of here and north of Dallas/Fort Worth but they didn't have an opening Sat. night. |
 |
| Another Charcuterie tray for dinner and Pat did a flight taste-testing. They even had live music. Enjoyed visiting with a nice couple from near Chicago, Shelly and Steve, who are also spending the night here with Harvest Hosts. Learned, or rather tried to learn, how to play Monopoly Deal. |
 |
| Thank you Valle Della Pace Vineyards and Winery in Garden Valley, TX for participating in the Harvest Host program and letting us spend Friday night. |
 |
| A nice charcuterie board and we came away with 2 bottles of wine and a port. |

| No, he's not real. |
 |
| The largest quilt store in Texas. It was nice and had a lot of premade quilt kits, but after having been to Missouri Star Quilt Company in Hamilton, MO it would take a lot to impress me! |
I wanted a t-shirt but this display was too hard to watch.

| We split a sandwich. Neither of us were fans of having french fries ON the sandwich. |
 |
| Deep fried Oreos or Twinkies for dessert. |
