When I wuz a young'un (and I'm talkin' well over 50 years ago now) there was horned toads all over everywhere......
I ain't seen one of them little critters in years.......
They just ain't around anymore like they used to be.......
We used to take highway 16 out of Freer up to Tilden and eat at the old Cowboy Cafe
It's gone now too..
They had autographed pictures of Tex Ritter hanging on all the walls of that place and great food too.....
Fireants have killed off the harvester (Big Red) ants which the horny toads used for food.
