Homestead

Here's an old homestead just north of Valera, Tx.

Beautiful, but sad......

Given your alias, I was expecting this

If only it could talk... It instantly reminded me of William Munny's homestead in "Unforgiven".

Cool pic!

Thank you gentlemen. I just ran across it today among my appointed rounds and snapped a shot with my "work" camera. I may not live too far from Doc Cash, but I'm light years away in the photo dept. :wink:


NorEaster, good guess, that was my second choice.

Captain Kirk: I was on Broadway in NYC last year at Phantom of the Opera and the guy I sat next to asked where I was from [I had new wranglers and my big hat] I told him Texas . He said that he could have guessed it. Said he was in Abilene, Tx once and it was the most desolate place he had ever seen. I said "Hell, that's where we go to have a good time" I'll never forget the look on his face. :mrgreen: Dr.C

The building is gone but the rock chimney stands as a monument to the homesteaders. Wonder if it ever withstood any Comanche visitors.

Doc, many years ago my brother and I were driving back from Colorado. We stopped for gas at some small service station/store in the middle of nowhere. We over heard two Texas cowboys asking each other what they planned to do that Saturday night. One said that he would probably just take it easy and run up to Amarillo for a few drinks. We both looked at each other as said to ourselves, "Amarillo is over 100 miles away!" Texas is a big state!
