Sand & Shadows
When camping at Monahans Sandhills in Texas, I woke up before sunrise and walked out on the dunes. It was dead quiet and seemed like I was the only human on earth. The sun rose slowly with a orangish-red glow and created the most incredible shadows across the dunes. I’ll probably follow this up in…

Texas Cattle Drive
The first place the McBs took us was to the old stockyard in downtown Fort Worth. Twice a day they have a little cattle drive re-enactment where several cowboys (and a cowgirl) herd a bunch of longhorns around the block. It takes some real skill for the handlers to keep those long horns from scratching…
