This Week’s Story: Denizens Don’t Steal
At the crack of dawn today, I discovered myself a victim. I recognized this feeling. It was a weaker manifestation of the same sensation I had when I discovered that several antique firearms I had on display on my wall in the ranch house had been stolen. It wasn’t until the perpetrator was apprehended, confronted and given the opportunity to make his wrong right that the feeling began to evaporate…..

Ranch News

This little calf (named Gilly) was picked up by Melanie and Josh in the wilds of Moose Creek. He was an orphan twin left by his mother inadvertently (because cows don’t count). So he spent a few days in Aspen Camp drinking out of a makeshift nursing bottle made from a cut off finger of a glove and a pop bottle. He now is happily on the ranch, and is being raised by a mom with abundant milk who found– to her surprise– that she now has a set of twins! Photo credit Rose Morris.

That’s Jed holding another twin calf for a bus trip back home where we’re going to raise her on a bottle until she’s ready to graze. Photo credit Josh Whitling.

The crew has to be very creative about loading all our gear on a camp move! Nobody wants to go back–it’s a rough road that is sometimes hours apart, and you want to get it all on one trip! Photo credit Josh Whitling.

Long days in the saddle can mean all kinds of things to keep one’s self busy. The gals on the crew especially seem to be drawn toward braiding horses manes and tails as they ride them. Photo credit Rose Morris.

The rain is just coming in as the morning crew comes off shift and ties in to the local aspen stand. It’s new country here in Iron Camp, and it’s a welcoming sight to the crew after staying in the last camp for over 3 weeks. New terrain, greener grass and higher elevation all add up to better morale for all involved: cattle, horses and crew. Photo credit Glenn Elzinga.

Camping high up in forests has its distinct advantages over sagebrush and grassland camps. Trees afford really nice places to hang camp gear and cowboy gear, and also provide much needed shelter from mountain storm cells that can blow up gale force winds in a minute. Photo credit Rose Morris.

The remote pumping stations go in pretty fast. This one serves about a half mile of fire hose pipeline that traverses some steep mountainsides that allow cattle a drink in otherwise hard to get to grasslands. Photo credit Melanie Elzinga.

At the end of the day as the sun goes down it’s the simple things that make all the difference: a plate of delicious and satisfying food right out of the Dutch oven with your dog at your feet as you set around the campfire. Photo credit Rose Morris.
