Red. Mud. Dust.

I can vouch for red, and cemetery, and dust. I did not see any mud.

Outhouse

At the Red Mud Cemetery, there’s a covered pavilion with benches and tables. And, further up the hill, a pair of outhouses. Without getting into much detail, I’ll just say that this one was a three-holer.

The Hinsons are cowboys

The Hinsons have a large family plot; many of the headstones are engraved with images of people on horseback. And several graves are decorated with lariats that won’t be needed any more.

Lost: 2 Bulls

040215

We nearly missed this sign. Well, we DID miss it, the first time by. At the very last second, I caught the word “lost” and decided it would probably be worth an investigative u-turn.

Turns out there are a couple of missing bulls somewhere near Spur.

The other side of the sign advertises 2 lost cows, both black.

Maybe there’s a fence in need of repair?

Preston’s time on earth lasted just the one day. It was a Monday.
