RVers should bring their folding chairs and soda pop come June 13. If you're in the neighborhood of the L.B. Johnson National Historic Park in Johnson, Texas, you can catch a free western--right along with free popcorn--courtesy of the National Park Service.
The movie, Will Penny, a 1968 western stars Charlton Heston and Joan Hackett. Heston's character is an aging, nomadic cowboy caught up in the threads of a lonely woman and her son. In true Sam Peckinpah fashion (the movie is based on an episode from one of Sam's TV westerns) Heston meets danger and bloodshed in the form of an antagonistic man, Preacher Quint. We won't spoil the plot, and if you miss the film, there are other free movies at the ranch this summer. Catch them on July 18, and August 29.
Check out the Park Service web site for more info on other activities on the Johnson homestead.
