Dear Elderbob,

I’m interested in this experiment and will try it out myself but now I just visited your blog to kindly invite you to take part in a meme game that is running all around the blogosphere. I have been invited by Barbara Dieu. So basically, the idea is for each blogger who accepts the invitation to reveal five things most people don’t know about them and then to pass the ball to five other bloggers by tagging them.
Hope to read your posting soon.
Warm regards,
Janos

And what a great session it was. How I regretted to have misses most part of it. Time wasn’t on my side that weekend. Now I am relieved to know that you’re going to do another one. YES!

Bob, I could kiss you. ('Cept it ain't really my style!)

My family is from Texas. Your short video and the music had me aching homesick here in Melbourne, Australia. I do miss the backroads of Texas, California, and Arizona. There's just so much out there to wander 'round and see.

Keep 'em comin', Bob. I'll be back soon.

Comment on …Keeping in touch… by SusNyrop

hello,
I’ve never even been to Texas or any other US state. I’m on the other side of the ocean in Denmark. But I’ve been following this trail per blog, as well as its making by Elderbob the Great blog boss. It’s been amazing. Listening to all these interviews, looking at pictures and finding the locations on a map. And then, in a Google search, I stumbled over another historic (photo) trail in California, Lassen County. Where I learned that the founder of California is said to be Peter Lassen who founded Susanville, he was a pioneer and a smith who immigrated from – Farum where I live! I’ve heard his name before and I see his memorial three minutes from my home every now and then, but now his life and destiny came so much closer to me – inspired by this very blog…

This is very cool, Bob. Congrats. What did you use? Microsoft Photo Story?

Comment on Doan’s Crossing – Doan’s Camp by Doan Igou Lusk

Doan Igou Lusk — Fri, 25 Mar 2005 15:57:26 +0000

Thanks to the Bandera Trail Riders who came to Doan’s Crossing in May 2004 for the Western Trail ceremony. I must say, though, I’ve never heard it called Doan’s Camp in my lifetime (graduated from Amarillo High in 1961). Corwin and Lide Doan, my Great-Grandparents were the original Doan’s Crossing settlers. They were invited to come settle by Quanah Parker, the Great Comanche War and Medicine Chief, who had agreed to surrender in the Battle of Palo Duro Canyon. The Texas Rangers had found a way into the Canyon where the Comanches were wintering, and slaughtered the horses and people. Quanah stopped the event, saying that everyone would be dead if he did not. (When little, I always thought Quanah was an uncle.) Bertha was brought from Ohio in the wagon as about a 1 yr old baby, and was the first white/non-Comanche baby in the County, as I’ve always heard. My Grandmother, Mabel, was the 2d white/non-Comanche baby born in the county. As a tiny girl, I spent most of my first 9 years at Doan’s, mostly with Grandma, and treasured every minute. If she ever saw the picture of her immaculate house on this website, put back to a dirt floor, she’d have a fit. Her upright piano stood in a corner to the left, facing the stove in the center. Her “Whatnot”–a beautiful cabinet of treasured things–stood right by the front door. A dining room and kitchen had been added onto the back, in which were a formal dining table and “sideboard”, with sterling silver for special days. The refrigerator ran on butane, I believe. There was no running water when I was little, but my Grandfather, C.W. Igou, put it in before Mable passed away after a long battle with cancer. That’s enough for now, but wanted everyone to know that this restoration was evidently conceived to put it back in the 1800’s. I have many of the family things, but still work for the Army so have never slowed down. Thanks. Doan Igou Lusk
