I’m not sure when I started thinking about such a journey, let alone seriously considered the possibility that it might actually come to pass.

The following story was written 25 years ago as part of the series created by the Eads High School history project—Kiowa County: A Retrospective at the Dawn of a New Millennium.

Each student chose a subject they were interested in and then through first-hand interviews and primary sources did the research and wrote the article.

Bob and Sally were on vacation
The road wound around and down
And there at the bottom
Was a quaint little mountain town

Our little house was on a section of the ranch called the Brown Mill. Our recycled living space was part of the ranch manager package Dad agreed to, so we didn’t pay rent/mortgage, and we didn’t complain.
