“But instead of saddling their horses and hitting the trail to tend their cattle, they went to the barn and hitched up the old wagon. Alma took the job of brushing down the horses as Amelia and Allegra rolled the wagon out of the barn and organized the harness and its fittings. They loaded the wagon with food supplies, a cooking pot and pan, and piles of blankets. They would get to the town of Eagle Pass in about four hours if the trip went well, and they hoped to be home before dark. But they a...lways went fully prepared for unforeseen circumstances when they left home. They never knew what might happen out in the middle of the desert. Even one night in the open could be fatal without the right supplies. Amelia piled up the blankets into a soft throne just behind the wagon seat. Then she rigged up a sheet over the top of it with two corners tied to the ends of the seat and the other two corners tied to the sides of the wagon. The sheet made a little tent over the throne. Alma backed first one horse and then the other into place next to the wagon shaft.MoreLessRead More Read Less
