More Cowboys Than Injun's in Caldwell This Year!

Well another memorable hunt in Caldwell is down in the history books. Traveling through the dreaded Memphis traffic I managed a shot of the Pyramid.

And the Mighty Mississippi didn't look so mighty this time around, but still a sight to see.

Beautiful cotton fields all along the way that reminds me the simple things in life aren't really that easy to come by.

The first stop on my journey from Alabama to Kansas started out in Springfield MO at the Crackerbarrel Friday morning. Of course WarSawDaddy was the first member of the rowdy bunch to greet me. :-* And soon there after the rest came trickling in. Ridgerunner, Snoopy (Schloopy), Greg, Gypsy and the girls and Bran. After a yummy breakfast and lots of catching up, we all headed toward Caldwell to meet up with the rest of the gang.

Lots of awesome scenery everywhere you go out that way.

After what seems like an eternity of riding through little towns and highways and pig trails we finally reach our destination. ME and family, BB, Ros and her A$$ are already checking in at the hotel. Get all the hugs and kisses and arrangements squared away there and head out for the site.
A crowd has already began to gather at the now world famous tan building in Caldwell. Lots of familiar faces and quite a few new ones too. Some how I got talked into tossing cow poop across a field...although I hunt in pastures I've always tried to avoid the poop, so this was first for me! :D EWWW! :D Dang, TC was good at it though!
Spent the rest of the evening catching up and with old friends and making new ones. Lots of great prizes given away and lots of presents being gifted too! Thanks to all who filled the back of my truck with all those goodies! :-* I love 'em all!!
Saturday morning started out with a cool brisk wind. We couldn't wait to get started. Hunted for about an hour and the jackets came flying off! Next couple of hours, thirsty was the word. Just so happened, Ridgerunner was nearby and I instantly had a new hero for the day. ;D

As the day quickly slipped by, the heat of the afternoon brought out these giant gnats that we call cow gnats. These things were relentless! Biting every little spot of skin they could get to. After an agonizing hour of so of these buggers, I ran to the camp and sprayed Deep woods Off alllll over. That worked for about an hour and then back for more spray. My tip to you is to never get that stuff near your eyes! Mine were swelling and I looked like I had been in a boxing match by the time the day was over. :P Thanks to Ros for the fine doctoring! :thumbsup: I'm almost back to normal now! :D I skipped the bon fire for the long hot shower and some rest..but I hear they dug a hole to China that night. :D
My dug finds consised of one 1890 Injun and lots of lead! :wink:

Had a great breakfast with Ros and Tim and River and Alden Sunday morning and then headed towards home via Hot Springs AK.
What a great weekend! I had a wonderful time! Thanks again to Burdie and all who put the hunt together! I know you must be exhausted after all that fun...I know I am! :D

That does it! Sign me up for the next one...I will find a way to get there! Every post I have looked at in the past 48 hours about CTH2 has had me kicking myself for not loading up my girls and driving down there for the weekend. You guys all had so much fun I am green with envy.

Nice write up with pics Nana.

Those cotton fields look better than the ones I saw down your way. :wink: ;D

Looks like you had a good time despite the bugs.

That Texas Connection looks like he stole the show with that gold ring!

Great post Nana, glad you all had a great time. That Cracker barrel is a great place to eat. Gypsy moved out here not long ago and I got to meet her a few weeks ago. You dug some some neat finds as well. I will be off to the Diggin In Virginia hunt soon. Tim
