The Gathering at the Trailhead

"Trailhead" is one of them terms a little hard ta find,
First most, in this day an 'age, somethink'comes ta mind.
John Chisholm gave the term somewhat of a start,
So we'll describe it here, continuin' a little of his part.

It's at the trailhead where the gather's begun,
With the trail herd bein'built afore the work's all done.
There is givin' try to the horses, an' to the hands,
An' even the chuckwagon cook, with his pots 'n pans.

Then each job on the trail is carefully laid out,
An' ridin fir the brand comes with little doubt.

Talk of them problems, that could be of the day,
Are worked out an' then their calmly put away.

Them long days an' short nights will be a regular run,
An' there could be with them trail hands a little cowboy fun.
There's even plans of good food an' coffee always hot,
An' all are welcome ta a-taken' of a cup an' plate from the pot.

Even fir those who jist drop in, or are just a passin' through,
With little question of from where, why, how, or what they do.
The goal is for all, in the best shape, ta reach the rail head,
An' remember: The next leg of yur journey begins right here at The Trailhead.
