We're in the movies! (Credits, rather)



We spent the weekend with Shea in Lubbock. She had a suprise for us when she took us to the movie that had been filmed in Guthrie @ the 6666 Ranch. We provided ice for the caterers that fed the cowboys and film crew. It was a neat experience. But, to watch the finished product was even better. We saw an old friend of the family on screen by the name of Joe Leathers. And lo and behold, Shea caught our name, Trainham Ice, in the credits. Thanking us for what I'm not sure, but maybe they were a little shocked that anyone would deliver ice out in the middle of nowhere. We actually need to thank them for the business and the exciting movie. So, thanks!

Texas:
Among the many large, beautiful, well run ranches we scouted for the US section of the film, the Four Sixes stood out - and they were actually enthusiastic about us shooting there. We assured them that we would disrupt their work completely, ask them to do things over and over again for no apparent reason, and generally be a huge nuisance. But they persisted. Perhaps they didn't know what they were getting themselves into.The ranch headquarters is at the edge of the town of Guthrie, Texas population 200. There are no hotels there, so we imported a camp of 25 or so trailers. These were not movie-star double-wides, but moderately serviceable units with mostly working showers and occasionally working air conditioning to fend off the 100-degree Texas summer.
