4. Howdy

Dean stepped out of his black Chevy and whistled low through his teeth. "Check this out, Sammy," he said, in almost reverent voice.

Sam and Dean had traveled to Mesilla, New Mexico to check out the legendary La Llorona haunting the area.

But this wasn't what made Dean whistle. No, it was the site before him of a real, honest-to-God cowboy-themed bed and breakfast. With the 'Happy Trails" theme corral doors, the barn fencing, gravel driveway and everything. He half-expected to see a tumbleweed blow by.

"Yahtzee!" he exclaimed, opening the side door and grabbing his duffel and another bag.

Sam Winchester, however, was not impressed. "Dean. we're staying here?"

"Yeah, Sammy, and I bet they even say 'Howdy, partner' when you walk in the door."

"Dean, they will not say 'Howdy'."

Dean gave him a hard look. "Dinner's on you if they say 'Howdy'."

The brothers grabbed their stuff and walked inside the building. Everything imaginable was covered in various Western and cowboy paraphernalia.

A middle-aged woman greeted them at the desk, smiling. "Howdy, boys. Welcome to Happy Trails Bed and Breakfast."

Dean leaned over to his brother. "I want an extra large slice of pie if they've got it, man."


The Happy Trails Bed & Breakfast is a real place. No idea if they really say "Howdy" much down there, but a girl (and Dean) can hope.
