There's nothing grander than a six horse hitch pulling a stagecoach. I love to see them galloping thru the western countryside in movies. What a rough ride it must be for both the drivers and passengers. And the dust, oh the choking dust. We have it so easy nowadays. Speaking of hitches, the Budweiser Clydesdale's were in my town this past weekend with an eight horse hitch. What a sight. I got some fantastic pictures. That will be my next series. The mural you see here was discovered on the side of a bank building. I like the Wild West it depicts. The guy riding shotgun is alarmed about something behind him. Wonder what it could be?

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

I bet that mural is awesome to see in person. It reminds me of all the westerns I watched over the years. Excellent capture, Pat.

Excellent captured mural Momma!
A kind of revival to me as I saw in my youth lots and lots Western Movies. John Wayne was my hero!
Thanks for this post Pat!
