Over On Snake Mountain

fossis · Feb 22, 2011

I walked over & around 'Snake Mt' today, scared off a couple of buzzards, walked along horse trails, these were like the ones that the Dalton gang & Belle Starr traveled on their trips to Texas to steal horses.
They used to stop at a spring, now known as (Horse theif Springs), to water their horses, just South of this Mt.

Thanks Ed, we have had a 'warm spell' in the 70's for a while, the turtles were 'sunning'.
But it cooled off some today, supposed to get Thunderstorms Thursday.
I knew a man that had a ring given to his Mother by Cole Younger for watering their horses at their house when she was a little girl, but he wouldn't let me take a pic, now hes gone, & the History with him.

Ok, it is pic 15? I looked again and the first time all the pics didn't load. It's the big rock picture, before the road. I was curious if water or wind caused the erosion :laughing9:

really enjoyed them anyway

That's a shame Fossis,it would have been nice to have that picture.We have spoke before about your putting things in a book form of some type of all these things you see in your life.Even if you never published it your family down the road would really appreciate it.We go through this life and today's moments are history in seconds. I have printed 105 - 8 1/2x 11 pictures of things my Son saw over in Afghanistan.I think down the road he will be glad I did it.I have a large format printer I use for making prints of my wildlife art and that's what I printed them on.It makes an impressive album.

I would think both water & wind caused it.

Thanks, we do live in some nice country, but the humidity & ticks & tornadoes give us trouble.

I think I can find a can of "Tick off" and a spare bed roll, can I come over and take some photos :notworthy:

. I'm sure you have a can of "Bear off" somewhere

Sackett · Feb 23, 2011

Yes Sir, that is pretty country!! I grew up in the mountains of NC and only after being moved away for 10 years or so, did I REALLY SEE what I had left...Growing up in country like that you take it for granted, because it was what you grew up seeing!! Enjoy and cherish all that you can, while you can...
