Virtual Trail Ride

Welcome to the virtual trail ride!

I am riding my noble steed, Jaz,
as we travel a crooked path eastward
from New Mexico into West Texas.

You'll see lots of this.

And this.

And this.

Hopefully, not this.

Does Ft. Worth ever cross your mind?

The lights of Big D.

Dallas mascot.

I am closer to the Oklahoma
border than I am to Dallas or Ft. Worth.

Most people are surprised at how
green and wide open far North Texas is.

Look how nice and wide the shoulders are.
Your horse's feet will thank you.

In places, there's shade and grazing
on the sides of the road.


Mesquite

Typical properties

A side of Lake Ray Roberts I haven't shown you before.
Unfortunately, you can't ride on the shore,
at least, not here.

Another typical property.

A roadrunner on our fence

I'll get the gate for you.

Tack down and we'll grain your horses
before you let them go.
There's grazing, shade,
water, and a round bale out back.

Now for you!

C'mon in.

Chips, salsa, guacamole?

Ice cold Coronas
with fresh lime?

Or would you prefer frozen margaritas?


I'll have a big pot of pinto beans.


And fried bean and cheese burritos,
if my son doesn't hear about them
and eat them all first.

Fresh, homemade tamales.

And for dessert, sopapillas — YUM!

A shower will feel
pretty good about now.

Flip a coin to see who gets the guest room.
It's a queen bed, if you don't mind sharing.
Everybody else, grab a sofa,
chair, or the floor.

Sleep well.
I'll fix breakfast before we
hit the trail again tomorrow.

Y'all come back.
