Book excerpt: Every Texan has a personal vision of the true Texas. The problem is every Texan has a different personal vision of the true Texas. An outsider is free to see the many sides of the Lone Star State, and seasoned travel writer Eric Peterson bellies up to do just that.Combining classic guidebook fare with lesser-known destinations, Ramble Texas creates a unique approach to travel. From eating mesquite-smoked BBQ on the border, tracking the Texas Chupacabra (a vampiric legend known for sucking goats dry), and sipping a Shiner under a two-headed calf at the Buckhorn Saloon to visiting the Cockroach Hall of Fame and Museum, Ramble Texas provides plenty of ideas for how to spend your time. In between the state's regional chapters, Peterson's travelogues recount adventures and encounters, such as ''Oil, Power, and Money''in Houston; ''Border Run''along the Rio Grande; and ''lone Rockstar Tour,''a musical road trip from the Panhandle to the heart of Austin.
