Red River Cart: revisited
« on: October 07, 2008, 09:51:14 AM »
Well, I finally got one of my ponies broke to drive, so I plan to build a scaled-down version of a Red River (type) cart this winter.
I think it'll be a good way to haul my "trappin's" into camp,... and maybe give some "liddle-buckskinners" a ride 'round camp when I ain't busy shooting.

Heck,... maybe I can even charge a few plews, to haul the other old greybeard's shootin-stuff to the range for'em. :rotf

Riley, I'd sure like to see that display but I've only been to MN twice in 60+ years. :(
