They had 2 supply wagons, 2 covered wagons, 16 horses, cattle and chickens. At night when they stopped they would let the chickens out to find food, milk the cows, separate the cream and sell it at the nearby towns as they traveled along.
Lando and Dorothy returned to Texas, county Oklahoma in 1946 settling on the farm six miles east of Elkhart on the OK. side of the state line built by William and Mary Keigley, Lando's grandparents.
