On Sunday, September 3rd, I drove about 2 hours to Shawnee & wanted to photograph all 34 of the painted horses. By the time it got dark, I had photographed 20 & still had 5 more to go. Unfortunately, I found that 9 of the 34 were broken or no longer there. In the afternoon the temperature was about 100 degF, so I stopped a few times to get a snack and even a large vanilla yogurt cone at a Braum's Ice Cream & Dairy Store.
