Ah, so you didn’t need the explanation about how they get the squirts when they get on fresh grass in the spring!
My cousins had a custom hay making business. I helped ‘em some. Mancos, Bayfield, etc. I’ve cut hay in a swather all along that corridor. Good times.
I’ve also poked around La Plata Canyon. Befriended an old dude that was still working a mine up there. I forget his name; it’s been 21 years since I left.
I used to shoe horses up La Plata Canyon 43 years ago. Later lived south down into New Mexico on the La Plata Highway.
I do miss it!
