Well This is hard to write about. I'm complicated. I guess I have had a good life, up until the past few years and things have taken a down turn. But with the Lords help it will get better. I have traveled some, seen a lot places "some I wish I have never had". Been Married for a good number of years 2 kids a dog and a cat. More gray hairs everyday.

Bill Hanes "Outlaw Tracker" Part-5

We had caught up with the Comanche's. They had headed straight to where the Mcluery's were headed. Big Jim Auden's Hell Hole. The Horse's were in the corral, and the Comanches were outside passing a bottle around. Looks like they had made their trade with Big Jim. As it looked from Bill's vantage point, there was about 8 Comanche's and Big Jim had at least 15 men around his "store" as he liked to call it. The store, which was an Old Spanish built adobe building. Was built up on a small Rise, with a good open view to the front and sides. His Look Outs had a good view in any direction. Behind it about 75 yards back, was a straight up and down solid rock wall about 100 feet high. The corral was off to the left, with a barn and a couple of more out buildings. To the right was open ground with no cover. Same as the front, any attack would be suicide to make on this place from those two direction's. So that meant the left side, where the corral was, provided the best cover. Bill went back and told the Captain what he seen and The Captain decided the best thing was to wait, until the Comanche's rode out. Slip in early in the morning right before dawn, using the shadow of the rock wall to cover their approach and steal all the horse's back. The Captain also decide if they could, he would like to put Big Jim out of business for good. So he said we would dynamite the store, and torch the out buildings. That should leave him a message to get out of Texas. To Bill it all sounded way to easy. " to be Continued"
