Did you know what happened 162 years ago this fall... back in 1850?

California became a state . . . .
The people had no electricity.
The state had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.

So basically nothing has changed except then the women had real breasts and the men didn't hold hands.

That, my friends, is the history lesson for today!



As mike says:

CARRY ON!

well not quite 1850 but in November 1856 this ole wagon was built. We went up to Colorado Springs last weekend for the WRCA Rodeo and Chuckwagon cook off. I was surprised that they still held the event.

Me and my best friend.

Great pictures. Glad you had a fun week-end despite the smoke. It is pretty nifty that you have such a genuine original piece of wild west Americana. Thanks for sharing the experience with the rest of us.
