Here we are on the Walcott Wagon Train! This picture was taken at the end of the first day, after we had traveled about 11 miles, just coming into camp and 'circling the wagons'. That's Hank Jr. on the left and Ladd on the right -- they both did a stellar job all weekend! We had planned to take Hank and Budd and leave the old man at home, but Budd thought differently -- he absolutely *refused* to get in the trailer so we took Ladd instead. Now we have some work to do with Budd!
