A couple of weeks ago when Scotty and I were visiting in Willcox, we got to go on a wagon ride with Aunt Nan, Uncle Jim, Jodi, Sydney, and Susannah. Uncle Jim needed to exercise the mules so they invited us out on the ride.

*Uncle Jim-a true cowboy!
Our ride took about 2 hours and Scotty did unbelievably well. While on our ride we were able to see many animals including horses, cows, many dogs, llama and geese (I'm sure I'm missing something). As we were riding I was thinking about all the people who made the trek west on foot and wagons. It took us 2 hours to go a distance that would have taken a small fraction of that time to drive in a car. Yet, day after day, those people had to walk and ride in a bumby wagon. I guess we have it pretty good, huh?
