Dickens County Historical Markers

NUMBER OF MARKERS IN COUNTY - 13

Have - 6 Need- 7

15th July, 2019 - The only difficulty after reviewing Dickens County, is maybe capturing the marker on Pitchfork Ranch all the rest appear to be in place it just a matter of doing the drive. 

 Both the county and its county seat of Dickens are named for J. Dickens, who died in the Battle of the Alamo. 
  This was the second time we visited the Panhandle and to be honest I wasn't as excited for this trip as I normally am, largely because on the first trip we were traveling to Colorado for a wedding and it just seemed so long, dusty and dry. On this journey however it had rained a lot and the colors were incredibly  beautiful and relaxing. Each little town we drove though had its own feel and while it's long way from home and a lot of driving I would have no trouble going back. Not long after this shot was taken the clouds gathered and it yet again it bucketed down so we only took pictures of the markers directly on our path and did not look too hard for any not on the road we were on,.
