Royal Wade Kimes, a Chester, Arkansas native, brought his 1st Mount Royal Trail Ride and concert home in October 2006, and the tradition continues. A country and western entertainer, traditional cowboy, song writer, artist, and author stirred up this small community! Riders were represented from States as far away as Virginia and Colorado while they rode the winding trail up the Ozark Mountain on old wagon roads and mountain trails. At the top of the mountain, a scenic view graced the riders looking over 100 miles into Oklahoma.
At the mountain camp site riders care for their horses and set up their camps as the authentic chuck wagon prepared the ‘viddles’ for the evening consisting of steak, potatoes and beans cooked the cowboy way. Dessert is cobbler done over the coals – if you’ve never tasted it – you’re missing something! Royal Wade Kimes brought the cowboy campfire to life with his traditional western music which was enjoyed by all.
The next morning breakfast is prepared and cowboy coffee gets everyone started and ready to ride! The trip down the mountain is only the preface to what is to follow - a full blown, riveting concert performed by Royal Wade Kimes and his Packin’ Iron posse from Nashville, Tennessee.
The concert is a benefit for the local Back Pack for Kids program.
This local community opens their doors to their hometown celebrity,
and we all go along for the ride! DON'T MISS THIS RIDE!!!
