WILD BUNCH WEDNESDAY - The New Challenge

Black Horse Western writer I.J.Parnham has written the first 500 words of a story at The Culbin Trail (http://ijparnham.blogspot.com).
The objective is simple - to create a story with each writer contributing 500 words - the contributing author being either the first person to comment on the piece or offer to continue the story.
It is a great idea and thanks Ian for starting the ball rolling.
