TO THE RANCH

Oct 3

Hey y'all!

Turned north to I-40 in Knoxville & passed by Bucksnort, TN (that's for you Mickie) & on to Memphis for a visit with the Wibles. Crossed the Mighty Mississippi & STILL no sign of Tom & Huck. I'm beginning to believe those boys are fictitious! On across Arkansas passing Toad Suck Park for an overnight in Ft. Smith. On our way to Oklahoma City we passed by Lotawatah Rd & the Kickapoo Casino--LOVE these names. Oklahoma City is a destination for us to have dinner at the Cattleman's Cafe at Stockyard City where the steaks are like velvet on your tongue and, once again, we were not disappointed!

Turned north to Kingsdown, KS for a few days with Chuck & Karla at their ranch. Drove about 200 miles one day to have a picnic & tour a hotel built in 1885 which is being restored by a retired USMC couple. This is a story I can only TELL you--and I will when I see you. What an adventure! Left this AM bound for Moab, UT & the next adventure.

Later--Tee

From Tom--Chuck now has his hangar complete so one day we went to feed the cows and Chuck decided we should fly over to the Cafe 57 for coffee and a cinnamon roll, then a little jog up to Dodge City to refuel and return to the ranch. Always an adventure around the next corner!
