Details of Crawford Farm

Crawford farm is located near Crawford in central Texas, USA, covering an area of 650 hectares. 1999, when George bush was governor of Texas, he bought this farm, which is 0/60 km away from Austin, the capital of Texas. Because the farm is far away from the city, the environment is very empty and quiet. Not far from the farm are rolling Woods, green grass, gurgling streams and winding paths, cattle and sheep strolling leisurely on the grass, and fish leisurely in the pond, giving people a feeling of "Xanadu".

After Bush bought the farm, he built two houses there, one is the residence of the Bushes and the other is the guest room. The Bushes' residence is a bungalow, covering an area of 370 square meters and facing south. It has 8 bedrooms and a living room connected by a long corridor. An old house left by the former owner of the farm is now occupied by employees.

President Bush goes back to Crawford Farm for vacation every year. During the holidays, the White House team moved from Washington, DC, to the farm to work with Bush Sr. Therefore, Crawford Ranch is also called "the White House of the West" by Americans. Lawford Farm covers an area of about 65,438+0,600 acres. According to Bush's assistant, the farm is Bush's favorite holiday destination, and he will come here to relax whenever he has time.

It is not without reason that President Bush is so fond of Crawford Farm, because it can be said to be Bush's "land of geomantic omen". Bush, then a presidential candidate, began to monitor CIA reports here when he went to court with Gore over an election dispute in 2000. Here, bush learned that he finally became the president of the United States; At Crawford Middle School Gymnasium, he announced to the world that his nominee for Secretary of State was Powell.

Of course, Bush's deep love for his hometown farm can't be separated from the careful care of American First Lady Laura. Laura has always believed that the White House is only a temporary home, and Crawford Farm is a permanent home. Therefore, Laura has been keeping this place in good order. Bush is very satisfied with his wife's arrangement. He once said, "As long as I am not in Washington, it is right to visit me in Crawford, Texas."

In order to ensure the safety of this "Western White House", the US government set up a no-fly zone with a radius of 4.8km and a height of 1.5km over Crawford Farm. In addition, a warning zone with a radius of 1 1 km and a height of 3 km is set around the farm. The US Air Force sent F- 16 fighter planes to patrol the no-fly zone. Once an unidentified aircraft is found, it can be warned and forced to land, and offenders will be shot down immediately.
