I traveled to Fort Sumner, New Mexico to document two WRCA qualifying rodeos that can be viewed on my WRCA Ranch Rodeo playlist. I sued some of my free time looking for Agates and Jaspers in the Pecos River in addition to Quartz crystals I used to call Pecos Valley Diamonds during my childhood days in Roswell.
Here is a sample of some of the ranch rodeo action.
I look forward to an opportunity to return and explore more stories in Fort Sumner. I did discover the Billy The Kid Museum and there is a link to a two-part video tour but I did not get a chance to explore the Busque Redondo ant other possible sites. If you have some suggestions please Contact Us!

I enjoyed having enough free time to visit this wonderfully restored train depot while I was in town documenting the rodeo. The depot was built between 1909-1910 and served as the Texas headquarters of Artur Stilwell's Kansas City, Mexico, and Orient Railroads (KCM&O). Now the depot houses the Railway Museum of San Angelo. One of the docents was very kind to give us a tour, so let's go!

Neches is an unincorporated community in east central Anderson County, in the U.S. state of Texas. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 175 in 2000. It is located within the Palestine, Texas micropolitan area. I was not there to visit the community itself but to a wonderful annual event held on the Diamond B Ranch just a few miles from the Post Office here. Send me your suggestions about other places and events to explore in the area.
Annual Events
This is one of my favorite scenes from one of the many events at The 1836 featuring Moon Swanson who operates the Diamond B Ranch and is the host of the annual celebration of Texas Independence. Click the link above for more details and videos.

The Ben Johnson Cowboy Museum in Pawhuska, Oklahoma is dedicated to the cowboys and cowgirls from Osage County who have won titles and awards for their achievements, particularly in rodeo competitions. Not only was Ben "Son" Johnson known for his rodeo days, as was his father Ben Johnson, but Son Johnson became famous as a movie actor, stuntman, and livestock wrangler. Cody Garnett owns the museum and he takes us on a tour!

I was in Pawhuska, Oklahoma for the Ben Johnson Days celebration and took some time to explore the Osage County Historical Society Museum in order to share my findings with you! You will discover the stories of Osage County residents and events that could be in the record books for the first of their kind. Including, the creation and deployment of the FBI due to the amount of money and murder in Osage County during the 1920s.
