On Gray Texas

Photographer's Note:
I got some good pictures of what is actually on the ground.
I think the most important one is the first one, the dog. When he came strolling by with them �boots� on I just couldn�t resist getting a shot of him. Figured you might enjoy seeing it also.

Take note of the two pics - �The Gray-Potter Community Center.� It is actually 6-miles south of �Gray�, the intersection of highways TX-49 & TX-727. Also note the Historical Marker, even as it is located at Gray it really is about Potters Point six miles to the south.

As nothing comes up on the internet I will state this: Gray Texas is an unincorporated community in northeast Texas in Marion County Zip Code 75657. It is located at the intersections of highways TX-49 and TX-727, 6-miles north of Caddo Lake, about 2-miles from the Louisiana border, about 19-miles east of Jefferson, about 225-miles north of Houston, and about 1,250-miles from New York City.

It was named after a local politician. -
