Intentions

Welcome; the intention is to tell a little about my whereabouts, travel adventures, and issues at Elk Ridge, including when I will be on the ranch, when a great time to visit (send grandchildren), etc. Hopefully there will be different divisions for Travel, Ranch Activities, etc.

Dinner time

Down in the San Rafael Valley, Los Charros. Time for chow as soon as I put this horse up! Not a great pic, though..
 Another topic(s):
Looks like Lynn and I will be in Glendale AZ next Friday (21st) for an Oktoberfest party! Erica, can we stay the night and maybe Saturday??
 Also, any interest in going down to those Buttes and Rustler's Roost restaurant the next Saturday (the 22nd)? That's the place where that band plays good county, meals are tolerable. No reservations but the band guys are good friends from Los Charros and if we want to go they will be sure we have good seats for dinner. They only play from 6-10. 
 Having another good time with great friends down here, but Earl the a shoe and is kind of landed up so we are taking the day off, re-shoe, probably hit the trail again tomorrow.

Battle of Leyte Gulf: October 23–26, 1944 | Fold3 BlogFold3 Blog

https://blog.fold3.com/battle-of-leyte-gulf-october-23-26-1944/#comments

Hello dear family, greetings from the ranch! Couple of days lull and prep before non stop action: travel to Tucson, then Kansas, back to Tucson, then pick up a good friend and head down to the San Rafael Valley for Los Charros.
And, speaking of action, I've forwarded this link. 72 years ago this month this WW II battle took place, one in which Dad was heavily involved. This is from Fold3, a part of Ancestry.com, and is a very good account and summary. The other link is that of Comments, and there are many very interesting comments from survivors and relatives, sons and daughters. If you have time and have some interest...Dad referenced the anniversary of that battle many times, but only briefly.
Love you all,
Dad/UR
