Texas Cattle Trail

While visiting the 3 corners area last week, I realized that the Texas Cattle Trail probably moved right through the area where I grew up.

More than likely the cattle grazed up through our east pasture where I played "cowboys and Indians" with my brother and cousins and other friends who came to visit.

The prairie dog town in that valley might not have been there, then, but it was a source of "entertainment" for many years.

Besides the Texas Trail Canyon marker along Highway 34 east of Haigler, there is another marker along Highway 27 north of St. Francis at the corner where the road jogs west for a few miles.

By checking on Google Earth, I can see the route from one marker to the other that they must have taken.
