I know there are a lot of Lonesome Dove fans on the board...

Anyone going up 287 from DFW to Colorado through Amarillo, check out the home of the original Woodrow, Charles Goodnight. (Gus was Oliver Loving) Haven't been to the museum in Claude, but I've been to the museum and home at the ghost town of Goodnight. Well worth a stop.

I'll post a few photos below of our visit in 2013

While you're at the web site, there's at least one more item that might interest this board. You'll know it when you see it....

Gus (L), Woodrow (C), Oliver (R)


Edit to add, Gus and Woodrow were intentional names. Oliver was my Mom's dog that we took in after she passed. His name is a coincidence.

Canyon, I used to post as Killer-K

You might remember that my grandfather and his brothers grew up a block away from Col. Goodnight in Clarendon. His "townhouse" was within their playing field. They would go up and sit on the porch and he would tell them stories. They were polite and sat and listened to them until they could get away and go play. He said if we only knew who we were listening to and what he had to say, I might have written it down.

They once found a bow and quiver full of arrows up on the Salt Fork. They took it to Col. Goodnight. He immediately identified the band of Comanches.

He said that Col. Goodnight was a great man, he was always friendly and inviting when he was in town. And he said the second wife was something else (22 yo school marm he was 92). And I cannot post those stories here.
