I misses last year’s cattle drive, but have been to many in the past, and this was the first wet one.

One thought on “The 2013 Precipice Cattle Drive.”

  1. Nice captures especially considering the photographer being somewhat limited with crutches and a new knee. It was a good weekend at the precipice.
