For about 3 years now, the wagon train has been coming to town. This is the second year we have been able to see them, and the first to get to take pictures. Last year, there were about 3 wagons and just a few people. This year....well, it has grown to about 6 or 7 wagons with about 30 men and boys. The ride takes them about 97 miles, and they try to make 20 miles a day. Every year, they camp in the pecan orchard at my grandmother's house. Mr. Joel Cobb(in the above picture - on left in first wagon), from Pine Apple, started this ride, and you can tell he loves doing it. Enjoy a few pictures of the wagon train.
