QUANAH  PARKER  TRAIL   index.html.html

Big Spring, Texas

Big Spring honors its

Comanche heritage

with a trail arrow

in Comanche Trail

Park. Both Comanche and Shawnee Indians claimed rights to a

nearby spring on Sulphur Draw. The town is named for the “big spring.”

THESE TAN-COLORED COUNTIES ARE

ALSO PART OF TEXAS. THEY BELONG TO

THE PECOS TRAIL REGION -- NOT A FOREIGN COUNTRY.

Quanah Parker Trail arrows are great places for taking pictures.

Debbie Wegman and Debbye ValVerde pose against a cold blue winter sky to have their picture made with Big Spring’s arrow on the day it was installed, Jan. 12, 2012.

      

TRAIL TRIVIA:

THE 22-FOOT-TALL ARROW WENT INTO PLACE IN JUST SEVEN MINUTES, THE FASTEST INSTALLATION TIME ON RECORD UNTIL BROKEN BY SYNDER!
