      Yes it is.

      Once I came around a corner in California someplace up in the mountains, little gravel road in the trees. Screeched to a stop, there was a cattle drive like this coming the other way. A few hundred of them anyway. No time to get out of the way. I was stopped in the middle of the road with the cattle going by on both sides, horns and everything. Felt like a salmon swimming upstream for sure. I was a little bit concerned, not being all that familiar with them. Apparently they know just how long their horns are, several came within inches but none touched me or the bike. After they all went by, the last cowboy tipped his hat and said something charming like, "Excuse us, sir"

        Not much of a statue either, what is that, a statue of two hunks of rock? I guess it's the thought that counts.
        Good enough.
        Heh. heh.....It's actually a Henry Moore, and bronze. 16 gauge would be appropriate for the mosquitoes you're going to see. The next tag is a lamp post style clock, or town clock.

          I would find it hard to believe that anyone else on GSR could also get a tag of their bike with a working cattle drive in the pic.
          (Just like the eclipse pic. )

          Evert year for the Rodeo, they bring in the cattle from the desert down my street and all the way into town (15-17 more miles) to the Livestock Events Center.


          "Kat", one of our neighbor's/friend's, was taking up the rear with her Daughter's horse that I remember watching the birth of.
          It was a much smaller horse then.

          Where the hell do you live ? On the Ponderosa ? Great video, though.

            He's very close to the Ponderosa, actually.

              Thanks a bunch.
              Once I recognized Kat, I wasn't paying much attention to the camera anymore.
              She also comes by to give our pets their shots as she has worked at several veterinary offices in the area and out on the ranches.

                Now a Cattle drive is one I could have done.
                Or a buffalo drive, but only from outside the fence.
                I can have the clock one in minutes, but we are under sever thunderstorm warnings and it's raining like CRAZY outside. I would do it anyways, but then I have no tag ready, except for a chuckwagon, which was a tag very recently, lol.

                Just not my day I guess!

                  Hey, nobody's got it yet ! Throw us a grain elevator, or silo, or buffalo. That'll get a few of us looking.

                    Just do it, Tank...look out the window, and if you can't see the thunderheads, go for it.

                    Nah, Don't. Be safe out there. I know those prairie tornadoes can whip up out of seemingly nothing.

                      Yeah Tank, go for it, we'll sit on it for a little, to give you a chance, this is an easy one, in fact I just did this tag a month or so ago.

                        Ok, there should be a break in the weather in a little bit. Grain elevator, now why didn't I think of it? There's dozens of em out here.
                        Silo would be harder to get, everyone uses grain dryers out here.
                        I'll be back in a few minutes I suppose.
