The Pecos County Historical Commission (PCHC) and the Goodnight-Loving Trail, Inc. concluded a fifth year of hosting their annual gathering at historic Horsehead Crossing on the Pecos River. Re-enactors, chuckwagons, Comanche dancers and noted historians entertained the crowds that showed up at this remote, but iconic spot on the Pecos River.

The Comanche drummers and dancers remained the most popular visitors, with crowds lining the flagpole area for the performances.

When I was lost and going in the wrong direction, you reached out your hand to me. When I rejected your love and help, you still walked beside me and loved me. You held me in your arms every day and every night. I had strayed from your path, yet you kept me safe from harm. You reached out to me as I was on my knees overwhelmed by pain. You stretched out your hand towards me and I took yours, you picked me up and held me. Letting me know that you never left my side. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
