Dani, my grand daughter, will be at the next work day and shoot. Hopefully we can get the bow set up after a little RR trip. She will be a very good helper. She has not shot an animal yet, but doves were in trouble during season.LOL She is ready to move up.

Post got alittle off track. But back to the original post.

On Friday, three youth and parents departed onto an adventure they have not had.

The day began with breakfast tacos in Burnet. Then onto the 275 mile trip to Crowell, Tx. (Close to the OK border.) (another part of the story)

Arrived in Crowell about 1:15 PM, stopped at the Dairy Bar (only place to eat in Crowell) everyone had a fabulious hambuger w/trimmings. Then on to more!!!

Arrived at Crazy Lady Trad'n Post so everyone can Meet & Greet the Sponsor,s of this youth outing. You see, Mr. Rusty Moore of Raggedy Creek Ranch and his wife Malinda, own both the Trading Post and the RCR. After the meet and greets, we continue on to the lodge. The kids are overwhemled by the lodge facilities and the lake where they will enjoy lots of fishing.

Arrived at the lodge and after unloading the vehicles, the youth and parents were off to the
lake. Immediately after casting the first worm into the water, the first catch of the day was a bluegill perch. Many more perch, goggle eye, and catfish were caught. The youth not only fished, they paddled around the lake in a canoe, paddle boat, and some waded in the shoreline. Friday evening, everyone was treated to a taco dinner with all the trimmings and deserts. Sponsors and other friends attended.

Sat AM, 7:30, youth were fishing. By 8:00AM, everyone was up and participating. The youth caught so many fish it was hard to determine who caught the most, or whatever, but promise, they were fishing long and hard and caught many, but then we were called for breakfast.

Sat morning, we were all treated to eggs, sausage, and biscuits by our chef, Darrell. The eggs, sausage, biscuits, jellies, juices were awesome.

Saturday everyone traveled into Ok. Most youth did not know that we were only about 40 miles from the OK line. When told, they all wanted to go and visit the State, so off we all went. Crossed the "RED RIVER". Pictures were taken at the State Line and we continued on to Eldorado, OK. When we traveled thru the small town, it was referred to a Ghost Town by many. Not a store was open, so we traveled back to Quanah, Tx. Here we gassed up the vehicles and were all treated to a cold icecream. Very refreshing as the temp was in the 100 degree range. From there we traveled back to the lodge where the youth went back to fishing in the lake.

Later in the evening, it was off to the shooting range. The youth plinked with the various .22 rifles and followed all safety instructions. They all shot very good with the rifles, but then they were all treated with shooting with a .22 pistol. This was a treat for sure as most had not shot a pistol before, but with approval from parents, they all did well. Then we all loaded up in a pickup and off to the exiotic ranch where everyone were treated to viewing the many rams, sheep, buffalo, wytusia(sp) and other animals. All were treated to petting Auddie, who is a ranch pet auodad. Sunset was approaching and dinner was almost ready, so to the lodge we went.

Saturday evening, dinner..... The ladies prepared an awesome meal of tamale dressing and salad. Deserts followed. Youth played games and adults visited. Just a great relaxing time for all. Again, sponsor's and friends attended.

Sunday morning. Again the youth wanted to fish. 8:00AM. So back to the lake. After awhile the sun became too hot and fishing came to a halt, but we were again treated by Darrell to a breakfast of eggs, bacon, biscuits, and jellies. After a time we all knew it was time to prepare to close out an awesome weekend. The youth all participated in the final cleanup and at 11:40AM we departed the area.

Special thanks to Rusty and Malinda Moore for their continued support to HCB, their generosity and love of giving to our youth.

Another great safe endeavor for the HCB youth.

Becky has pictures.

Since I wasn't lucky enough to be able to get out of working the weekend, my wife Lori was the representing parental unit that accompanied our son Clay on this adventure.
From the stories and the excitement with which the stories were told, they appeared to have completely and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Sounds like they had a good enough time that, next year, if I can't get out of work - I might just quit so I can go!! (ok, maybe not, but it'll be a close call).
Thanks to Rusty, Malinda, Darrell, Becky, Roy and everyone else involved for making it a trip to remember for them.

Jerry
