That is a GREAT web site! You can look up towns, counties, people, and like I did the other night, ranches. My husband and I looked up ranches to see how big some of the famous ones are like the Pitchfork, XIT (which is gone now), Four Sixes, Waggonner and the JA. My husband played polo while we were at Tech (yes, the kind on horses) and they used to have a match every year with the cowboys at the Pitchfork. Great entertainment!
