I just had a thought. We've seen a lot more chinks and slickfork wade saddles come into these parts in the last 10 to 20 years. And it's been drier than normal. Coincidence?
Chinks and slick fork wades came from the high desert country of the great basin and the high desert of California, traditionally. Chinks are more comfortable in hot dry weather and slick fork wades have a big horn with usually, a mule hide wrap, so you can slide your dally more easily.
Soooo, if we all went back to riding swell forks and using shorter ropes and tying on hard and fast, would the rains come back??????
Naawwww! They use those in the southwest a lot and I notice it's pretty dry down there also. :wink:
