I did not get to see my horse pal, Nugget, but doesn't he look great grazing out at Clark's West Ranch? And what about that little Dun filly, Maggie, and her 2010 filly colt. NW Okie put more photos of her horses along with Clark's Longhorns, on her Facebook photo album.

Since we have been back in NW Oklahoma the temperatures have dropped from the three-digits of 108 down to the two-digit range in the high 90s. Thank goodness! But I am ready to get back to the cool mountains and wildlife of the Rockies! I hear that one of the three bears has taken over and no "Goldielocks" is around!

NW Okie and David took a couple of ATVs out to Eagle Chief Ranch last week to check out a few things out West of Alva, Oklahoma. You can read NW Okie's ramblings on the prairie for the rest of the story.

NW Okie found another mural in Alva, Oklahoma, on the north and west wall of the Woods County courthouse. It shows a painting of the Old Courthouse with towns folks and a politician stumping on the downtown square of Alva.

Speaking of Woods County's courthouse, we know that Alva's fountain, pond and dragonhead drinking fountain were located on the westside of the old Woods County courthouse in downtown Alva, Oklahoma. We know the dragonhead drinking fountain is now in Albuquerque, New Mexico in a private courtyard. BUT where is the towering, three-tiered fountain that once graced our courthouse park?

Good NIght and Good Luck!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
