Cattle Drive in Wyoming

It's been a while since I've updated the blog.  I will backtrack a bit as I have some neat pictures of a real Wyoming Cattle Drive.  We were driving out of Jackson Hole and thought we had seen all there was to see (and there was quite a lot) when we came upon a truck with a huge sign indicating cattle on the road ahead and that we should slow down.  Wow!  They were not kidding--it was a real cattle drive with real cowboys!  Check out the pic's:

We slowed and then pulled over to the side.  I hopped out to take a few pictures and observed one of the cowboys heading back to pick up a stray.  After he had gone into the field and flushed out the stray, he followed on his horse.  Unfortunately, as the horse hit the pavement, he slipped and his legs came out from under him.  First time I ever saw a horse fall down.  Fortunately  the horse and the rider both got up, unharmed.  The shot below shows the stray heading up the road while the cowboy collected himself.

Yes, they were real cowboys.  And a cowgirl, too.

Next post will cover our visit to the Corn Palace.  Check it out.
