Getting ready to head out for the annual Lincoln County Cowboy Symposium in Ruidoso, New Mexico this weekend. Leaving this afternoon for the long drive, but it's one I love to make.
Last night Kathy and I attended the grand re-opening of T.J. Cook's at the Royal Palm inn on the south side of Camelback Mountain. Had a great time, good food and drinks.

Daily Whipout, "Spanish Spurs"
"Never trust a man with a riding quirt and Spanish spurs who doesn't own a horse."
—Old Vaquero Saying
