It sure helps to get a feel for the time, place, and landscape for the authenticity needed for our stories. I'd love to visit the King Ranch... Bucket list item. lol <br />Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-56598890387385025042017-11-14T08:06:43.686-06:002017-11-14T08:06:43.686-06:00Tracy, Was out of town and missed this yesterday b...Tracy, Was out of town and missed this yesterday but I so enjoyed reading this today. King and his wife were quite the people--so many benefitted from them and what an empire they built--for themselves and others. Amazing and beautiful people. I have WILD WEST TEXAS and will add TEXAS ROSE to my list. I look forward to both. Wishing you the best.

And the house... oh, the house was wonderful, and we only saw the outside, since the family is still living there. :) Our guide grew up on the ranch. I so enjoyed getting his insight into how an operation that large runs.

You can hit Corpus Christi, San Antonio and be close to the ranch in either place.

We spent two hours in a vehicle and barely scratched the surface. Loved it!TracyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432297803219920111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-17556258207474720272017-11-13T21:01:55.853-06:002017-11-13T21:01:55.853-06:00Interesting, Tracy!

Your characters are always some of my very favorites.<br /><br />I've always been interested in the King ranch. What a huge, wonderful enterprise that had to have been back in the day, and even now, too. I would love to go see it.Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-80100709662029410872017-11-13T14:49:10.795-06:002017-11-13T14:49:10.795-06:00Great post.

Authors are probably trivia experts from researching so much.<br />I think if I lived in South Texas I would want to own an ice plant. That was a good idea on King's part.<br />I wish I had known about this ranch when I lived in Texas; I would have most certainly visited there.<br />I want to wish you continued successSarah J.

I still remember the beautiful buckskin in one of the pastures. <br /><br />Thanks for the additional history. Loved it!
