Part 1 of 5 Ranch Photos from Mike in Tucson

Mortgage and Lending with SUNSTREET MORTGAGE, LLC (BK-0907366, NMLS 145171) NMLS 223495

 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 on the RES post this morning; I'll reciprocate at some future date. 

In the meantime, this is what a stampede looks like from wrong end.  You don't want to be in front of the herd!  This photo was taken in 2003, when I was young and inexperienced.  LOL

Are you going to be cooking up some mountain oysters?

LOL @ Doreen - Mike, I'm guessing you're having a great time.  A good 'ol dose of fresh air and a little physical labor is good for the body.

I still think you need to ride a horse. Looks like a fun time and good fresh air have a great time.

Don't you ever sleep?  Drive 600 miles and then sit down to see what's on the rain.  Gee I thought that you had already gotten there and the cattle was glad to see you! :-)  Have a GREAT time and look forward to the follow ups

Like smoke signals of old...the 'net allows friends to stay in touch from afar.  Which one of those cows are you bringing home for the BBQ?

Looks like a great "working vacation"!  Have fun and say "Hi" to the cows, calves, steers and bulls (keep a sharp eye out for the bulls!) for us!

Great picture, Mike!  Midland, Texas, huh?  When I was a student at TCU, I had to make that drive through West Texas several times a year.  Suffice it to say that I was always happy to get where I was going.  No offense to the good folks of Odessa, Midland, etc, just not much to look at from the I-10.
