March...

We finally made it to Chick and Kathy's home :)
Back in Texas again!

Kathy made me stand downhill :)

Caught Wen and Kathy discussing ways to keep Chick and me out of trouble for the next 2 weeks :)  I don't think it can be done.

Back in Grapeland, TX...this time for the 4th annual Dogwood music rally.

Our gathering spot...the Sunshine Inn.

Awaiting musicians to show for an informal jam session :)

Howard is very talented and a joy to be with.

Here's the story... the preceding night we were threatened by severe weather so we hurriedly broke down this shelter so that it wouldn't blow away to the next county.  Dwaine and I start to reassemble Chick's shelter the next day. 

The reassembly did not go well...

As you can tell, many folks pitched in for a good 45 minutes trying to figure out this convoluted process!

FINALLY...Chick proclaims success!

Here is the group enjoying lunch and fellowship at a local restaurant.

This setting honors the 3 previous Kings and Queens of the Dogwood rally.  

Guess who the winners are for 2025.
​  King Chick and Queen Kathy!

The house band performs for us one last time.  Can't wait for next year's event.

​Willis Creek COE in Granger, Tx, for 3 nights.

Sowell Creek COE, Dublin, TX, for 4 nights.

Brooks Driveway (how original) in Noble, OK.  This was a Boondockers Welcome host.

Supply Park COE in Ft Supply, OK, for 4 nights also.

Clayton Lake SP, in Clayton, NM.  Its was pretty isolated and difficult to find a semi-level spot.

Danger Will Robinson! ..... these little guys will poke right through your clothing and make you wish you had taken another route!

Sanford-Yake CG...a national Forest?  NO TREES IN SIGHT...hmmm.  Maybe they're counting telephone poles as trees.  This was a free sight for our 8 nights by Fritch, TX.
