Also, I used to live on the Wilkenson spread in Prescott. Out in Granite Dells, the running W. I sure do miss it! I would love to read some of your stories!

I drove through the Dells last year, Every inch of ground from Paulden to PV (Jackass Flats) has a housing unit on it ...the Dells aint much more than that pile of rocks on 89 any more ...And the 89A cut off is like a four lane super highway now ... The old Territorial Capital (Prescott) and PV aint what they used to be.
I grew up cowboyin' north of Kingman, in 75' when my Father died I became a Marine, Ten years later I went back to cowpunchin ...After I got hurt in 95' runnin steers was what made me feel like I still had some toughness left in me.
Even after I got old and sore it was still the only thing that made me feel like I still had some Hard chargin kick ass and take names in me.
It's been a good run ... My Fellow Vaquero's have made me proud of who I was , And glad for who I am.
