Roosevelt Cookout

Jeanette picked me up just after 2:30 and I hopped in her truck with Carrie. We headed upturn hill and picked up Mel. Traffic was light and we made it to the corrals by 3:35z as we arrived, one of the wranglers started explaining the ride. He was a fantastic speaker and was able to stretch his talk when the other speakers were not loading the horses as quickly as he expected.
Cole and Ric were our wagon leaders. We had a lot of fun on the way out with a mixture of Cole telling us some of the history and explaining some of the natural elements here. Then he had everyone introduce themselves and say their favorite part that they've seen or want to see.
Then we made it to the cookout and Jeanette brought out her water bottle which was filled with wine. And we sat and enjoyed that while the food line went down. Then we got up and waited in line with options for cornbread muffins, coleslaw, potato salad, corn salad, and steak. Delicious, perfectly cooked steak.
Then there were songs and stories around the campfire. And back onto the wagons and back to Roosevelt.
