There are no hotels in Crawford; the closest place to stay is the Weston Inn Suites & RV Park in McGregor, Tex., less than seven miles down the road, not a likely destination for Bush family guests. The nearest city, Waco, is a half-hour drive away. Out-of-town guests will fly to the little airport there (those lacking private planes and coming from a distance could face a long layover in Dallas) and will probably be transported to the ranch by shuttle bus, after going through security clearance in Waco.“There’s not even a place to park around here,” said Marilyn Judy, who runs the Crawford Chamber of Commerce. “I think all Crawford people will see will be a line of white vans going down the road.”
Um, white vans? An RV park?! Will dinner be assorted barbecued meats served on wax paper? We were fixing for a fight at the post office since our invitation seems to have gotten lost in the mail, but now we think we'll sit this one out.
