Rocking r chuckwagon gang

[gator]

The guy in the middle was our leader rusty rankin. He lived on his property which stretched back to the original Spanish land grant. Was 7 miles by 7miles. Originally it was down to 5 acres on the neches river in Sweeney switch Texas. 
We lost him 2 weeks ago. Got to go down and say good bye to my best friend in the world the day before he decide to turn oxygen and antibiotics off double pneumonia. Other guy is Bob. We spent years cooking on the Chuck wagon at Dollywood. Silver dollar city rodeos. Best times of my life outside my kids I ever had. End of the trail. Fixing to take this to brother Bob in Tennessee. 
for those that got there picture 10 years before last year Rusty was Dollywood Santa also.  
my tribute to my friends. Love miss you rusty.
