"They tamed a land
Now they are gone
forgotten by youth
the hard men and women
of the old west
thru wind rain and pain
they did not fail
with only a strong will
and a dream
failure was death
so death had to fail

"The Texas Ranger known near and far for being what all Men
want to be.
Big Tall Skinny short
there is no doubt
that when you
see the Texas Star
that respect is
in the air
God watch over the men
who wear the…"

"WELCOME RON! I PRETEND TO WRITE POEMS, THEY ARE REALLY JUST WESTERN STORIES WITH A TWANG! HAVE FUN! luckydog"
Ron "Six Gun Preacher" commented on LUCKYDOGJIM's group WESTERN POETRY
"New here! I do not pretend to be a poet, but love to read it!
Is there any open country left
to many folks to get any peace
God made this land for man
so go up on a hill closer to the clouds
lay on the ground and look up and
find peace again!"

Odessa Red said… - Hi Jim...my husband worked for several years in the Lee Vining area on Hwy 395 (they rebuilt 395 and built the 2 arch bridges over Rush Creek)...I would pack the girls up and drive the 6 hours north to visit him on the weekend and we'd explore the area...I love the eastern Sierra and just loved your photos. My husband knows where you pics were taken but those were places I haven't been to yet. Thanks to your pictures I'll have to pack up the girls, the hub, and trailer and make a trip up there soon (hehe after winter!) Thanks for posting!
