Run to the Ranch North Drive

[Jim McDermott]

The annual trail drive to the Ranch in Wenatchee Saturday August 23rd

OK you cowpunchers it is time to round up the herd and drive them over the
pass to the Ranch!

Ill be the trail boss of a herd going over the North Pass (Stevens).  We will
beat the bushes and look in the valleys and arroyos for any strays that we can
find and bunch the herd at the Monroe trail head for the big push over the
pass.

Carlos Cruz has said that he would be pushing a heard over the South pass
(Snoqualmie).

Any cowboys or cowgirls that want to be in on the North drive need to be at
the trail head (Buzz Inn) in Monroe at 8:30 am sharp with your saddles packed
and your horses watered and ready to ride.  If you want to hit the chuck wagon
at the Buzz Inn before the drive, give your self some extra time.

We will push the herd over the pass and stop for watering and to cool the
horses down at the rest stop before we get to Leavenworth.  The hard part will
be the drive through Leavenworth; some of the fillies may want to stray.  It
will be your job to keep them on the trail.  They will like to cut and run,
but we need to keep them moving if we are going to get to Wenatchee in time to
meet the chuck wagon.

When we get to Wenatchee we will bunch the herd at the corral and check our
accommodations have lunch at the chuck wagon of your choice and be ready to
drive the herd the short distance to the ranch.  We need to get the herd to
the ranch by 1:00 pm otherwise the ranch boss will dock our grub.
