Two cowboys pose in front of our bunkhouse… part of which you can see here, as well. Looks like it doesn’t even have its sod roof yet! No names. No date.

#TBT: Branding Dinner
Feeding the branding crew has always been a Big Deal. Everyone is working hard and has quite the appetite. This branding would have been on the top of the mountain, creating challenges of its own. Heat would be a campfire or what could be brought up in a wrapped pot to keep it as warm…
#TBT: Working Team
A hired man drives the team raking hay on the Greet Ranch. 1920’s photo.
#TBT: Roundup Camp
Roundup camp, 1907, Bates Creek, Wyoming. Photo by Oscar Hoback. Notice the cowboys at rest under the canvas taken off the wagon.
#TBT: Elk Horn Resemblance
Lately, I was struck by the resemblance of an old photo and one taken just a week or so ago… This is me… age four? My father was proud of this elk… in fact, these antlers still hang in my brother’s garage. We always ate wild game for our meat, and this year must have…
#TBT: A Little Different
I don’t really feel like a photo for this #tbt. I know it doesn’t make sense! For fun, I looked back at some of my first entries on this blog… It’s easy to do, just scroll down the right sidebar and you’ll see “A Look Back in Time”. Just click on one, and revisit some…
#TBT: Old Flood
Springtime high water is not a new thing. No date. Bridge over the Nowood Creek.
#TBT: National Puppy Day
Come to find out, today is National Puppy Day… so today’s #tbt????? Lucas as a pup, 2006!
#TBT: House
An old photo of Johnny’s house. It was log with an added on porch. The log has been sided over and the new porch and extra addition now exist. No date. Taken from above the bunk house looking towards Daniel and Tess’s house (my old house) across the field.
#TBT: Mountain Branding
Branding on the mountain pasture, no date. Look at the Herefords!
#TBT : Kid’s Dream
Well, this would be many children’s dream come true… This photo is of our longtime neighbor and friend, G. He told us he drove this little buggy and pony to school and everywhere he wanted to go! He put many a mile on this thing. I know at that age… I would have loved to…
#TBT : Snow on the Ground
Since most of Wyoming is reeling from a winter storm… and we are dry but cold… I pulled up a winter photo for you. I assume they are putting more hay in the top of the barn. That’s where we keep our good horse hay, with all that snow on the ground, perhaps they ran…
