Laredo ist der Ort für diese Neun-Loch-Runde. Die Karte zeigt die reale Stadt, und der Ball bewegt sich durch ihre echten Straßen, wobei Wahrzeichen wie das Texas Sesquicentennial 1836 - 1986 als Löcher dienen. Skip kennt die Bordsteine und Gehwege hier gut, da er Zeit damit verbracht hat, den Verkehr zu beobachten. Der Spaziergang umfasst 3,4 Meilen.
You will first notice the distinct Victorian architecture style of the buildings at Fort McIntosh. This site in Laredo is a fort that is also listed as a National Register of Historic Places place. It had its inception in 1849 and served as a U.S. Army base in Webb County, Texas. The base remained active from 1849 to 1946. I always think the old military layouts make for a great walk, and this spot is no different. Whether you are here for the history or just to see the old structures, it is a clear window into the Army's presence in the region. You can spend some time wandering the grounds to get a feel for how the base functioned during its long years of operation.
You will find the Lamar Bruni Vergara Environmental Science Center at Laredo College. This public community college in Laredo, Texas, is a public educational institution of the United States. It had its inception in 1947 and was founded as Laredo Junior College. The college is part of the Laredo Independent School District. When you look at the reach of the school, the official service area of Laredo College includes the municipality of Laredo as well as Webb, Jim Hogg and Zapata counties. I have always found the campus to be a great spot for a stroll, especially if you enjoy seeing students moving between classes. It is a central part of the local academic environment and serves as a hub for many residents in the surrounding counties.
