A look for Tensleep

[Stump Water]

1871. "Fred W. Loring, in his campaign costume, with his mule `Evil Merodach.' Taken about 48 hours before he was brutally murdered by Apache--Mohaves, while en route from Prescott, A. T. [Ariz. Terr.] to San Bernadino, Cal., by stage. Loring had been with the [Wheeler] expedition as general assistant and correspondent, and was returning to the East with a mind stored with rare adventure and scenic wonders."

LOL Stump....for some reason that reminds me more of Arcey than Tensleep.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Makin' Taos Lightnin', is Taos far enough north Sleep?  New Mexico Moonshiner and ranch foreman.   Hey Stump do you have any dates and location on the picture?  What is the source for both of those.

[Tensleep]

Taos Lightenin' is GOOD!

See how much fun a new look can be, the plannin' and research is half the fun.    I still like the muckluck Idea, I never thought about that one before.  A lot of those homesites tended to get pretty muddy.
