The Escapees Ranch - Lakewood, NM 48 degrees’ and sunny to 84 degrees’ and sunny.

Round-up Fiesta starts today with coffee and donuts and bagels (not New York style). Then there were yard sales and at four this afternoon an expanded happy hour. We won a door prize.

The "Horse track"

Tonight there is Horse Races at seven. We arrange the floor with six lanes and twelve two-foot boxes. Two pair of dice are rolled together and each number is a "Horse" and can move one box per die. If two threes are rolled the three horse can move two boxes.

"Horses" are called to the post

Horses were picked last Wednesday at happy hour. For a winner the horse in the final box needs a double (two of the four die with their number other horses continue to move) to win.
