If you're reading this Dad, Happy Father's Day! I miss you. Wish you could have been with us.
The whole N./S. clan went to Oklahoma today for a fabulous catfish dinner and took me along. The Judge and Ms Laney gave me a tour of the genuine Chisholm Trail.

This area is where they would drive the cattle over the Red River. The line of "woods" in the photos is actually the edge of a deep and wide ravine. It was formed by the thousands of cattle being driven over a bluff. At the river, the herds fording the water would be packed so thick that cowboys could walk across their backs to get to the other side.

Hoping to be back on the road tomorrow. Route and timing depend on a few factors I'm still working out. Available graze, water, funds/months left, better tent, etc. Whenever we leave, I plan to come back here in the future to visit new lifelong friends... big-hearted people, beautiful country.
