Western Word of the Week - Line Camps - #WesternWordoftheWeek #WesternWednesday

Howdy!

Welcome to our Weekly Western Word of the Day...or, as I affectionately call it, Western Wednesdays!

Line camps - outpost cabins stationed along the "line" (boundary of a ranch or spread) where a cowboy or team could rest while they were "riding the line".

Also known as the "shack", "hooden", "Jones's place", "boar's nest"
