Cowboy Bill on Drivin' His Chuckwagon
Double Circle Ranch now has a real, honest to goodness chuckwagon – brought here by Bill Emrick. Everything on it is authentic – from the Arbuckle coffee crates to the wheel tables. Bill cooks a pretty good fare out of this chuckwagon too – sourdough pancakes, vinegar pie, shut-up-and-eat-it stew, real cowboy coffee, and more.
Watching Bill drive the mules- Kate and Kit – and setting up the chuckwagon is like a page from the past. It fits right in with Double Circle Ranch and Eagle Creek where things are pretty much like they were 100 years ago. We still have no electric or phones, no daily mail delivery, no garbage collection. Plus no traffic jams (other than deer season), no crime, no houses within sight of each other, no noise pollution, no light pollution, or modern distractions.
What we do have is wide open space, unlimited vistas, Texas longhorn cattle, abundant and varied wildlife, good water, clean air, a few good neighbors that can be counted on and are spaced out by miles not city blocks, and good horses for transportation and cow work. A pretty darn good way of life by our standards!
