Poet Lane Luttrell shared photos from his cowboying days in Wyoming the 1960s and 1970s. As his bio tells:
In the 1960s and early 1970s I had the privilege of working on three family ranches in south central Wyoming. I worked on Lee McQuay's place, the Diamond Ranch and on Howard and Audrey Brokaw's 3 Circle Ranch. The 3 Circle is where I worked the longest.
I started out working in the hay fields. Through the patience and tutelage of those I worked for, especially Howard Brokaw and his foreman Del Esquibel, I progressed to being a cowboy/ranch hand. Even in my youth, I knew that the Arlington-Mc Fadden Wyoming area, called "the valley," was a special place. I did not know then how much the people there would forever affect how I would live my life. "The valley" is a beacon that over 30 years later, still shines out to me.
