We've done a few more short camping trips, leaving camp set up because we still have more to do. I think we are about 3/4 of the way done gathering the mountain. We ship our first group of 700 out tomorrow, and the first truck has already arrived here at the ranch this evening (he'll just sleep here until we're ready to go in the morning).
Sounds like we may have the help of a helicopter to gather the last 1000 or so cows, so that should be a big help. On the last camping trip, Sue ended up getting stepped on twice by horses, and kicked by a cow. It was a rough day for her, and she is still limping days later, however she seems to be improving. We've tried to "keep her down", but that really is more difficult than it sounds.
We have a few more pics from camping, and some corral work down at Whitehouse. You'll notice
Brian has a new pair of chinks on (they are like chaps, but these only go just past your knees). One of the buckaroos that is here now, Ty, works in his family's saddle shop also. He made this pair for Brian and brought them back with him after going home for a few days last weekend. We think it is pretty neat to have something like this, handmade, by somebody you know and worked with. They probably won't stay this white for long, but they will be well admired by us over the years.
