Clue #1 - Go to a state

I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Roy Parks, the Archaeologist Kid, from Oklahoma. After I snuck out I realized I can't do this by myself and asked mom and dad for help. The book gave me a clue of how to find the Golden Wing. It said I have to go to the land that became a state on December 29, 1845. I asked mom and she said, "I don't know, but we can look it up on the computer." So we did. And it said the state was Texas. And then I gasped. That state has snakes in it. Also, the book said I have to go to a cave on the West side of the state. I looked on the map and it's on the left side of Texas. But how do I know what town to go to? So I looked in the book, but it still didn't say the town. It did say the town that was formed in 1909 by moving ten buildings from another town by tractor. Hmmm. That's interesting! Since my MaMaw is from Texas, I decided to call and ask her. She had to look her big book about Texas. She said it was Abernathy, Texas. We only had two weeks until the book was due back at the library, so we had to get goin'. To be continued....
