Tomorrow is Election Day! While I have my favorites, I just want you to vote! Especially those who live in @discoverodessa, where our voter turnout is horrible. Texas a whole ranks last in voting! So find your polling place and do the most important thing you can do as a citizen of this country! If I wait for other people, I never would have done it. However, it didn’t happen overnight but I would have missed so many things if I wait for the right guy or friends or even my own comfort level. Days are better with a Gus! Happy Halloween from Woody! I still cannot believe Gus kept this one, especially the hat to take photos. @campbowwowpetroplex are miracle workers! Just a Kels who grew up obsessed with the Oregon Trail and finally able to see Devil’s Tower! All in the blog. ‘Devil’s Tower, a monolith of old / A wonder born of fire and earth’s cold / Known to the Lakota as Mato Tipi / Bear Lodge, a sacred place, where spirits roam and speak.’-Unknown Road trips are so much better with a Gusbug! Love seeing the US with my best Gus! Spent the weekend near Dallas @cedarhillstatepark with Gus! We camped, hiked, and enjoyed a Texas sunset over the lake! My first time and just a really lovely time!
