It was thirteen months ago that the folks at the Hitchin’ Post decided to close their doors for the last time. They’d been supplying western gear and clothes to ranchers and cowfolks for over 35 years, but modern times and internet gadgets drove them kind folks into retirement.

The store’s been boarded up for a while and it looks like the building is about to come down. I’m glad I got a shot of the mural on the east side before it was gone forever.

Wonder whatever happened to the horse statue out front…
