Oregon is one of those places I want to visit. It is quite far out of the way, and I think they like it that way. It has a spectacular river gorge just north of the border with California. Wonderful photo! I did not know they had land formations like that!
My friends in New Mexico had a 30 acre ranch and it was a perpetual job keeping the barbed wired posts in place. The ranch was full of piñon trees and the pine nuts were picked every year by the indigenous people undeterred by my professor friend’s attempts to fence them out. To be honest, no coyote, mountain lion or bear was ever deterred by that fence. And they had no animals to keep inside. He had made good money on a text book and so became a rancher. It was on top of a mesa where the wind never stopped blowing. The futility of that fence never deterred him.
Love that one. Don’t know why but I do!!!
Likely because it speaks to that ride'em hard cowboy alter ego of yours, Smooth!
One of your best Rich… totally captured it!
Thanks much John. And thanks also for the further chat about it last night. So greatly appreciated!!!
