King Ranch

 The King Ranch.   Cowboy town....quarter horse quarters and grazing land for lots of cows and rattlesnakes.

Tried to write this with some unique cowboy font, but couldn't find one.  Will have settle for this cow.... brown stuff.  Once you leave Corpus Christi...goodbye civilization.  While this part of Texas is a little more populated, it's still a LONG way to the next McDonalds.

Would have loved to saddle up and ride out to see the place, but they kept us locked up on a tour bus.

We saw Santa Gertrudis cows and quarter horses, dry grass and only one or two people.

Nice little ranch house, but the bus can't slow down or stop by it even though no one is in it.

This guy is 83 and was one of the first people to ride the triple crown winner, Assault.  Look it up.  The King Ranch raised and trained thoroughbreds for a short period of time.   

We had a great time but we still had to make it to Mission, TX the same day so off we went with the pups to find our new home for the next few months.
