caddo: Part 5 of 5 Ranch Photos from Mike in Tucson - 04/19/08 09:57 PM
You're looking at history. The creekbed is solid limestone, a layer geologists call the Goodland layer. It runs through the GlenMar Ranch in Caddo, OK. My Darlin' and I spent a day together, walking the creek, looking carefully at the limestone beneath our feet. It had just rained the night before, and … (19 comments)

No one has written a history of the rock post. They anchor barbed wire fences on most of the ranches in southeastern Oklahoma. This post on your left is a typical rock post along Route 22 between Caddo & Kenefic. The Colonel isn't a typical rancher. He's made his rock posts into works of … (5 comments)

Pastures in Southeastern Oklahoma are full of rocks. Ancient rocks, actually. There's one layer of rock called Kiamichi. Pieces of the layer are laying in the pasture there on your left. Look closely, and you'll see fossilized oyster shells from way back when. The entire place used to be at the … (9 comments)

Southeastern Oklahoma is blooming with color by the beginning of the third week of the month. That's when my Darlin' and I visit GlenMar Ranch in the little town of Caddo, OK. My friend the Colonel (pronounce that KerNel if you're not a military type) spends many hours during this period … (9 comments)

Haven't seen you for awhile! That might be what she's bawling at me. We've been having a good old time getting the herd worked. Lots of pictures, and some good posts will come out of this. Caddo, OK is so small that the main street doesn't have a traffic light. Local word … (15 comments)

We drove 600 miles today--Tucson to Midland TX, so we're half way to Caddo, OK. Since we've been working this herd together for so long, we consider our friends on Glen Mar Ranch to be family. The hotel has internet access, so I'm blogging. Thanks to all of you for your comments … (22 comments)
caddo: Balance in Life: It's Time for the Annual Roundup in Caddo, OK - 04/11/08 09:20 AM
Mike in Tucson will be less visible on the blogosphere for the next ten days. I'll be working cattle. "Well, who will you get to help work cattle in the spring?" I put the question to my friends Dick and Olivia in early 1995. Dick, having retired from the Air Force, had decided to … (24 comments)
