To get this point: You must visit downtown Nacogdoches, find a place to sit in downtown, and spell 'N-A-C-O-G-D-O-C-H-E-S' correctly without looking at a sign.
Caveat #1: I guess if you just visit Nacogdoches, that should count too.
Nacogdoches is the oldest town in Texas and named for the Caddo family of Indians who lived in the area. It is widely considered the oldest town in Texas and it's history goes something like this: the Spanish set up a mission there in Nacogdoches. A couple years later everyone was moved away to establish San Antonio. Some of the folks did not like the future locations of Fiesta Texas and SeaWorld so they followed a fellow named Y'Barbo back to Nacogdoches, where they could build the Old Stone Fort.
If you want to spend some time in downtown, there is supposedly a walking tour from the local visitors center. If you decide to explore the surrounding area, you can take in the unique qualities of East Texas.
Enjoy Texas and try to figure out why there have actually been 9 flags to fly over Nacogdoches instead of the usual 6 flags over Texas...
