a certain gentleman had to leave the vicinity of the Mississippy and its riverboats very quickly. fate lets drift him into Hodge City just when the Southern & Gulf railroad reaches this sleepy town, and he witnesses the loading of the first cattle train leaving northwards. in the evening at the green table one of his pardners in sin mentions: “these cowboys smell of dung and greenbucks…” since this crucial moment he knew but one goal: the welfare of these hardworking cowpunchers! not long after his lifepath was given this new direction he had the incredible luck to win a lot in town, situated next to the station. and now, only a few months after the idea was born, our hardworking hero got enough funds to start building! ========================================== well, i got a problem. Mik wrote: “3. Clarity of photo/description log.” where and when does a building log start?? some wise man told me decades ago: “if in doubt, give them more than they need, and let them weed.” true to this motto i’ll start my building log at the very beginning. (not at Adam and Eve, but near, very near!) first was the decision, what to do. since i was made to believe, that a hotel would be easier than a corral or a stable, a hotel it will be. second - problems start. instead of being able to let my creativity flow, i have to clean my workspace! (at least some part of it) to be continued…
