Howard Hughes final resting place.
Don Hutson, horse trainer, educator and and all-around cowboy and his student Rhapsody pose for the camera. Don and his horses teach educators and business professionals how to communicate better and how to be more effective. We often "camp out" at this cool little country B&B during the Christmas holidays with friends. Cowboy Campout is a 15-acre working horse ranch just north of Historic Montgomery, Texas near the Sam Houston National Forest. The bunkhouse accommodates 12 guests in semi-private rooms. Two private bathrooms and lounge are located inside. #LocalGems
