[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 378415, member: 24284"] If there was a count taken, we my find that there's at least one horse for every person in the state. I've been to the Rockies, North and South, always found them awe inspiring. A close, old friend of mine and I were on a short trip to Amarillo to a gunshow about a year ago. As you travel west on I-40 the lay of the land changes between the Ok/Tx state line and the city of Amarillo, it flattens out even more, w/ fewer canyons and the grass gets even shorter. As we crossed into that area he commented, " Ya' know, I get nervous, if ya' know what I mean, when I get away from the Western Plaines of Oklahoma for very long". I looked at him and said, " I thought I was the only one got that feeling!". How well does the old saying, "Home is where the heart is", fit. And how true that saying is, wherever home may be! I'm sure you've seen the movie "Lonesome Dove". The land where 'Blue Duck' and those Kiowa were camped reminds me of this area alot. Grassland and deep canyons ,cut by the weather, passable only on foot or horse back. Most anything larger, like a wagon, if you got it to the bottom of the canyon in one piece , you probobly wouldn' get it out! Nice to hear from Ya'! [/QUOTE]
