Land, settle, first round
- Afternoon: Fly into DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport) — 25 minutes from the core. Drop bags at Western Ranch Rental (Airbnb).
- Dinner: Heim Barbecue (BBQ, $$). Fort Worth brisket + bacon burnt ends — a crew-dinner TX smokehouse
- Night: Ease in at White Elephant Saloon — Historic Stockyards saloon dating to 1887 with live music every night and a crowd that actually knows how to two-step. Keep it reasonable; Saturday is the main event.
