Mojave Lever Crew - Roll Call!

Back in the day (I was a child passenger in the 50s) grinding across the Mojave at night, Kramer's Junction was a beacon in the distance, an oasis of sorts.

For you western movie buffs. I'd mentioned our quick trip to NM this last Fri and Sat to look at a horse a few posts back. Its a 12 hour drive to get there in the middle of nowhere and then you turn right. This is their driveway. It's 10 miles of this:



The western movie part? They name their young horses after John Wayne movies. We went to look at McClintock but ended up buying Hatari, a coming 2 yr old blue roan filly.



Except for being muddy (they'd had a foot of snow a few days prior), I couldn't find a fault and I've been looking at young horses for a lot of years. I mean there's no perfect horse, but dang.

Now that's saying something. So how's Hatari liking her new home?

Ahah! That's nice to know.

Same sire different dam but still the same bloodlines on the dam's side too.

My next horse will be an Andalusian or Lipizzaner. They make good trail horses, and I owe one of those to my squaw after raising two kids.

I like to watch and photograph rodeos (mostly high school rodeos in our region). If I tried to get on a horse at my age I would be worried about being in one.

Tom, we behold the political and artistic genius of the amazing calgunner WingDings. It is his artwork.

Dan, I'm getting on in years, too, but I'd still like to ride. Am I crazy?

Don't answer that.

Was out taking pics of a few scabbards shipping out and thought what the heck, got everything set up.

For Deuce!

Finally a Colt Mustang in .380acp:

Man: I dig that Dan Wesson! If I ever buy a 1911 in a non-standard caliber, that would be the piece!

I need to get to the range. My Buntline is in my grubby little hands now, and I have some hunting loads, as well as some steel target thwacking loads, I need to try out in my 20 and 24" Cowboy 1894s. I'm hoping that the thwack loads will shoot well in the Buntline, so I don't have to worry about changing them.

Excited!!!
