Doug Baum Texas Camel Corps Today we trailored from Cuero to just out side Smiley, Texas. Here, we picked up new group member Frank Gonzales who is a historian and is working on a new book about the historic US Army Camel Corps. We unloaded the camels at Franks house and paraded in costume the roughly one mile through Smiley. The camels enjoyed meeting the folks in Smiley then we trailored ahead in Nixon. Tomorrow is our next to last rest day for the Drive. Monday we will be hitting it hard but are looking forward to meeting the nice folks in Nixon in the mean time.
