Yep, Im back from the trail and have had quite an experience!!!!  Really not sure where I left off see'ns how time is of no importance out here on the trail... We work with sun up and sun down.   Seems that "Yur burnin daylight" has become words to live by.  Well I best quit ramblin and give you the low down on these last few days.     The GOOD the BAD and the UGLY:     The Good:  Cattle have just been doin great!!  During the days before reachin that little road called I-40 we really put them to the test.  We couldn't have been happier.  They showed their true colors.  Lots of color. see'en how theys longhorns!!!  Weather was favoriable seemed a little hot.  However no one ever jumped in the stream or stock tank, unless they's taking a bath??  The grub has been D lish us!!!!  We have eggs, steak, and biscuts for breakfast,  And supper is a full course meal.  Stew, or chili, and always a great desert,  Yep, pineapple upside down cake.  YummY!!!   The Bad:   This here experience is going fast.  We had our weekend at Fort Reno which symbolized our half way point.  We have met so many wonderful people and time seems to be flying by!!!     The UGLY:  There is so much work to this here drive.  We get up way before the sun comes up!!!  Picking up camp takes alot of time.  We pull up the picket lines that the horses are tied too during the night.  The cooks have made breakfast and are needing to clean up all thoes ovens.  We  must pack up bedrolls, tents, and all our supplies and move to next camp. So we are all looking a bit frazzled.  So speaking of frazzled I must hit the hay for now.       Keep checking back,  Jingles will be sending the next update.    Thanks for your support    From The Trail Centennial Cattle Drive Core Team with Oklahoma State Hood Flag
