Apache Spring Shipping Corrals

I have wanted to shoot these old corrals for quite a while but for whatever reason I never made time to. This particular evening I finally made the time due to the stormy skies. It was quite an awesome experience as I was surrounded by the sounds of thunder, the bugling of elk and also flashes of lightning. I hope you enjoy......

"Make A Hand"

"Cowboys are also called "hands" and "cowhands." In order to "make a hand" a cowboy must take hold of any task for which he has been hired and apply every bit of his skill and dedication to the task from start to finish. The best reward a cowboy can have is to be told that he made a hand. The worst that can be said of him is that he didn't make a hand. Or that he's not a good hand." ~ JPS Brown
