I was going to visit the grave site of Belle Starr on this trip, but read up on the burial location before going. The site is rather run down, on private property and on a dead end road.

LOVE the pictures; I wouldn't trust Gilly to stick his head in the window, I am sure he would destroy it. Between him and Pokey they have chewed on everything they can get their teeth on, bad critters!! And if you opened a door Gilly would walk right in the house. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and these pics are sooooo cute! Our mules would walk right in the house, if they could! Don't know if the floor would support 1100 lbs, though!! Thanks for sharing!
