"There's a little cowboy in all of us, a little frontier." ~ Louis L’Amour

While photographing ranching activities at the 3-Bar Ranch, near Mariposa, CA. these two ranch hands follow the fence line behind a herd of horses they are driving back to the ranch house. In speaking to several of these ranch hands afterwards, I found they make very little money, and don't work all the time, but when they get the opportunity to do some work, they don't care what it is, because life in the saddle while ranching is so fulfilling.
