You wouldn't think it to look at the photos, but there's too many darn fences in this country. Glad you like the pics.

I'll see what else I can find. Some are too big and if I crop them down they kinda lose the impact....

My mother once asked me, 'Why do you like South Park'? I told her, it has red dirt and cows. A beautiful and open land in the middle of the Rockies.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Thanks. But I should clarify one thing. After reading some comments it occurred to me that people might think I cowboy as my only job. I don't. I have done lots of real cowboy day work over the years and collected wages for it but I also have a full time job working for a large equipment company supplying the coal mines in southeast British Columbia. Cowboy wages haven't changed much since the 1880's. I know lots of full time working cowboys, and some other day workers too. Some real top hands. I'm very fortunate to be able to do it, but also have a retirement plan. Most of those guys won't ever have that. But then again, nobody cowboys for the money. It's a life. Just thought I'd better clear that up.
