So most of Friday’s drive-about was in the car. Furthermore, most of time outside the car was at the NCTC campus looking at the Cymopterus. The rest of the things found at the campus and on the roads in Cooke County follow.

We were on a guided tour in Colorado long ago, maybe Ouray, and the guide told us about dandelions. That they were brought to the area by the miners for a source of vitamin C. It was hard to have this much needed nutrient in the snow covered mountains but dandelions did fine. At least that is what he told us. You never know what is lore and what is truth.
I’ve never heard of Camp Howze until now. I agree with Judy’s sentiment – sad for the farmers who lost their means of livelihood. I hope some or most were able to reclaim their former properties.

I have seen the dandelions in the mountains areas somewhere and the plants were huge and full. And I agree about the lore and truth.
Sad about the farmers and the WWII camp.

It would be interesting to know how many of the farmers were able to buy back there lands. It appears to pastures now.
