This sign is about 5 miles south-west of my house. The old ranch was in the heart of Osage County, Cattle Country and Indian Land. This is the bunkhouse at the headquarters of the ranch.
And the barn......
Awesome huh?
Now then, for the really cool stuff....
This picture is of the old cowboys who used to work on the ranch back in the '40s
See the guy in the middle, holding his hat up higher than the rest?
That would be Ben Johnson Sr.(His son Ben Johnson Jr. was the actor that was in movies with John Wayne). He is my Great-Great Grandad. Pretty neat stuff huh?!
I wrote about this stuff on my other blog here: Little Peace of Osage County History
Anyways, I guess that's all for this pointless post!hahaha
P.S.......
Long Live....
Cowboys!!
That would be my oh so photogenic daddy the the picture above.
And Long Live....
COWGIRLS!!!
And that would be my best friend, Cattle Kate the Steer Whisperer. She's not sure if she likes my nickname for her or not. I find it EXTREMELY funny!hahahahahaha
