Country Roads

I spent an awsome day with Karen Lindell. We had lunch at Parkhill restaurant in Sainty, stopped for a visit to the Cheyenne County Museum, then took off on country roads north of town to see what our "old stomping grounds" looked like. Luckily the roads had dried enough from last night's showers and we had no trouble traveling across country.

Much to my surprise as we approached the driveway to Steve and Tammy Workman's place, (where I grew up) there is a red round sign just across the road from the house with the words "Texas Cattle Trail - 1883" painted in white letters. Obviously, somone else figured out that the trail went through there before I did or they read the previous post on the blog about the Texas Trail and quickly painted that sign before I could come by and see it today.

A quarter of a mile past the Workman house, we turned north to take "the Scrivner Road" through the hills to Haigler. We weren't sure if it would be passable, but we were lucky to find only a few head of black angus calves in our path. The hills were green from the recent rains and the cactus and russian thistles were in bloom reminding us of how beautiful our "home turf" is and making us fall in love with it all over again.

We drove west of Haigler turning south to drive over Devil's Gap before returning to St. Francis where we said goodbye and vowed to get together again before the summer is over to drive our country roads again.

Thank you Karen for a fun and rejuvinating day.
