    Thanks so much for sharing this. I couldn't help but think of Lester's Longhorns on a cattle drive. Lester riding his horse, accompanied by his guard and herding dogs. All of a sudden Dani and Ruby. would start doing zoomies, then begin demanding their bottles. We'd hear, "Jami, Get their bottles ready." I'm being humorous of course. Lester, you are so skilled at managing your Longhorns. You do it with so much confidence, as if it's second nature. Stay blessed Jami and Lester.

      Your next trip needs to go to The Stockyards in Ft. Worth to see a Longhorn Cattle Drive in person. There are shops for Jami to shop in.

    Thank you for your narrated tour Lester. It was really interesting. I can just see the cowboys and horses driving the cows across the river, like in the movies. So dangerous. Awe inspiring.

    Lester, you and Jami are the perfect pair. I love the different perspectives that you share! Jami’s love of showing us the shopping and restoration / repurposing of old buildings and such coupled with your love of history and teaching us about what you find! It reminds me of how my husband and I view these types of trips! Thanks for bringing us along!

    Wow I love seeing the cattle driver herding the longhorns to the river. Watching Lonesome Dove they tried to find the most narrow crossing and lowest part of the river. Thankyou for sharing your and Jamis adventure in Waco Texas. Really awesome.

    Hi Lester, thanks for taking us with you all. Hope you & Jamie had a great time away. My husband wouldn't have stayed the night. Wasn't it worth it to just to have a reset . We are raising our 2 oldest grandkids now. We only got away 1 by ourselves & been married 44 yrs.

    What an amazing monument! You need something like this at Longhorn Lester’s in front of your gate!! Smaller of course😂 Tell Jamie to keep that old truck at your new property and she can pretty that up with flowers and maybe a sign in front of it. Ideas galore there . Can’t wait to see what all you do there. You need to have a home there too . Love you two ❤❤

    Good morning Lester. The sights of Waco are fascinating especially when you have seen the longhorn statues and head trail drive boss before but I can't remember if it was on Fixer Upper or in history books in school or just curious when someone has drove by when they are storm chasing Texas. Would the settlers back then may have built barge type rafts to take the cattle across or just have them swim it. Thanks for the history. Have fun and safe trip home.

    Hey Lester, thanks for the historical information. Now we know why Texas is the big state & was the last one to join the union. It's a state that can handle It's self. This is the state I should have been born & raised in because I love the outdoors,wildlife, & living off the land. GB, y'all stay safe & take care 😊

    Funny story Lester. A girl I went to high school with had her own horse. She thought she was really something and let everybody else know. One summer she was going out west on a “real cattle drive” and she let everyone know about it - how great it was going to be, how she’d be the only non-adult there, etc. When she got back she had a rather permanent scowl etched on her face. It turns out she actually had to WORK!! She was absolutely miserable, and on top of that the “drive” went a few days over and she missed the hottest rock concert of the summer at our local venue. 😂 Those cattle drives were no picnic to be sure!! (This was in the late ‘60s)
