When a brutal Texas cold front hit the Llano Estacado, most men would've turned back—but not Goodnight. His answer to the storm? “Courage ain’t about comfort—it’s about commitment.” Join Tweed for a lesson in tenacity, Texas-style, reminding us that tough times don’t last, but tough people—and tougher Texans—sure do.
