That country is gorgeous...down here we got trees and grass, just not a lot of scenery such as that. I will stay here though where I know I wont freeze :wink: . Been a long time since I have been up North though, thinking with all these pictures coming a vacation might be in need the next year.

Thanks for the tour Hanto,

More nice pictures. Very nice place.

Thank you, sir, would love to have everyone share pics of their places. You got any :D
I've got lots of panaramic pictures but unfortunately I am indecently exposed in most every one... Acutally , this isn't range country and unless you're on top of a mountain you can't see far. Sometimes you can see something pretty. Here is a picture from a 40 acre piece I own that I bought to trade on. It's paved country road , etc, etc...This was last fall. Big places here are no more than a few hundred acres.

I'm in Harrison which for all practical purposes is in southern Missouri. We are about 2.5 hours north of Little Rock. Man if you go to Little Rock , take a weapon! That is not my favorite place. Sorry country to boot. Come north up into the ozarks and you'll enjoy the sights much better. .. While you're at the clinton library will you get to see...never mind.

On the 6th pic down, imagine a breeze just picked up a little, passing the scent of earth, pine tree bark, dried pine needles and the pungent smell of green pine needles... Like the smell of the woods, but up there on top where the wind sweeps the earth clean. Along with seeing forever, the scents which hits you now and again is unforgetable. One of my very favorite moments was fixing fence myself, up there in Sect. 23, sw and Montana Cowgurl were in New York, doing their Provider Pal thing. Up there on top, sun shining, breeze gusting to a low wind, the smell, the peace. When I get a little stressed I remember that time. You might think I'm female and silly, so be it. That was a very special time for me, when I felt in tune with nature. Every time I go up there to fix fence or help fix fence, I remember that time. Makes me happy :heart: :)

Maaannn, sw, you are such a wuss! :wink:

Yup, I know what you are talking about. I can get the same feeling around here, in some special spots and usually when I'm accompanied by a good horse. :)

Hanta, I don't think that feelin has anything to do with bein female or silly. Everyone I know has a special "spot" that does that to em. I think men in this business appreciate the beauty of the land, the smells, the sights, etc. way more than you'd often think.
I have a "special spot" but often get those feelin's in other spots as well, I think it's more "takin the time to smell the roses" or pine, or sage, or whatever is there to appreciate.
:D

Red Robin,
the Provider Pal organization takes a rancher, a logger, a miner, a farmer and a fisherman into big city schools to teach kids about where there stuff comes from. I am one of the ranchers. Each year a school adopts us, we send them emails about our way of life, answer questions they have and try to show them that people in our professions do not rape the land, ruin the environment, basically we try to correct the garbage they are fed by PETA, TNC and all of the enviros. Then towards the end of the school year we go to their school and meet them, then they have a face to put with our way of thinking, not what the read in their weekly reader. Ford Motor Company has granted us 2 million a year for the last five years to run the program. We are now in over 35 cities and it is growing so fast that we need more sponsors and more providers. This year we expanded into Vancouver BC and Seattle, I think next year we are even going into South Dakota and North Carolina. I have been involved for four years. That is why I am going to Little Rock. A lot of the schools that want us are the inner city schools, the one I was adopted by in DC had bars on the windows, a metal detector at the main door and guards at the end of every hall. I talked to one white kid out of about 150 and if you don't think I knew what a minority was at that school! I probably learn more about their way of life than they learn about mine, but that is the point, cultural exchange. I know where I can get more providers, right off of ranchers net there is a bunch, we need to get more sponsors. BTW, First Lady Laura Bush gave us a "Preserving American Heritage Award" and held a fund raiser for us last year in DC. That helped a bunch. For more, go to www.Providerpals.com it tells more.
Hey JB, I am not a wuss, if she wants to go do fences while I'm gone, more power to me. :wink:

:D We were showing cows in Little Rock back a few years ago when the Macaraina (sp) was a song/dance that was popular. Some radio station set a booth up the first or second night we were there . We were leading a hand full of green broke heifers and some old bulls out to tie out. The bulls were anxious to go but the heifers were balking at every sight. We were just fixing to walk out the barn door with our cows when the radio station started blasting the song over their loudspeakers and they had assembled a gang bang , backward hat sort of group of kids, black, white , male and female. The heifers spooked at the kids, the kids spooked at the bulls, :lol: There was big old cow eyes showing lots of white in both camps. You drew a tough crowd but probably not like D.C. If there's anything you need , pm me.
