Next morning, after breakfast , depart for Goodnight Tex. to tour of the Charles Goodnight Ranch House and nearby museum. Karlie, museum curator will be our guide. As most of the know, Charles Goodnight, was the partner of Oliver Loving (Loving NM) The Goodnight Loving cattle trail is allegedly the longest cattle trail in history of US. The movie Lonesome Dove was about their life story, a lot of liberty was taken in making of the movie, but it's still the best western I've ever seen.
We will spend most of Saturday, Nov 14th at the Goodnight establishments. It has been tradition that visitors tie a bandana on the fence of the Goodnight home, your option. Then we will go to Caprock Canyon State Park to see the Charles Goodnight bison herd.
Here are some sites if you want to up to speed on the history:
• Charles Goodnight
