Getting ready to leave Mahnken Ranch this morning for Omaha. Will be staying at Robert Nickos home in Omaha 1 or 2 nights then start walking towards Denver.
Its a 5 hour one way trip for me and a 10 hour round trip for Mark and Susie.
Bittersweet for sure. Going to miss Mark and Susie so much. They have been terrific hosts! They have opened their home for me for so long now.
Will miss the dogs Buddy, Muffin and Wesson. And the cat, Jub-Jub and her 2 kittens. And I who can forget the cows and the horses.
The ranch is so beautiful with the rolling pastures and the woodlands and bottoms around the East Fork Chariton River. It truly is God's country out here.
I regret never meeting the 4 Mahnken sons! Maybe I will meet them in my way back east.
we are praying for you as you wend your way West! God be with you! Keep in touch.
