Good horse. <br /><br />This actually reminds me of the chapter in Mark Twain's "Roughing It" about him and his friends getting lost in the blizzard! bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-81651621688959414102017-02-26T15:07:51.611-07:002017-02-26T15:07:51.611-07:00Powerful story.

I ended up making a big circle, ending back at my friend's house, but I was so frightened and can still remember that feeling. I've lived on the plains in Kansas and know how that situation might have ended in a totally different (and tragic) way. Thankful that horse had the instinct to find the way and that your Dad trusted his inner voice.

Only difference was that I was in the truck and I had a radio. I remember one time out in the sand hills at the north end of the ranch; I was scattering range pellets to the cows. It was chinooking when I loaded the truck but I saw that masssive gray mass coming in from the north. It dropped from 40 above to 0 in less than an hour. The snow started and soon it was ZERO visibility. I was able to follow the wind and blowing snow until I saw the fence, and I would've plowed right through that if it wasn't for the headlights reflecting off the barbed wire. I turned east at the fence and followed it to the gate. From there on we had a built-up trail and it was fairly easy getting back to the ranch and then on the main road to town. I don't know if I really prayed or not but I'm sure the thought went through my mind a time or two.... George Stringamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375285536941813368noreply@blogger.com
