moved his camper next to ours "to keep us safe". >The partying went on
all night. Drunks in wagons circled the camp >non-stop. There was a
"whore house tent". We started to go to the dance >but our protecter
ordered us not to. There was a knifing that >night...something about
some woman catching her husband with a woman from >"the tent". I'll
never forget walking to the restroom the next morning >and stepping on a
set of false teeth. >g< And our protecter...he took in >a woman
whose husband had gotten drunk and beat her up...then the

case of flu which >spread to my other two. I never told my parents a
thing. And people >wonder why I love endurance

endurance ride up >at Tellico Plains also hosted a wagon train. He said
endurance was much >safer. The wagon trains always lost a couple of
horses every
