Destry showed up to help us brand. He brought some friends to help with the bull-doggin', but they bailed for some fun some where else (he must be running with a smart crowd now)
We had enough help to not need the chute. Coby and some friends, as well as Bill, Wade, Denver and Megan all pitched in. We just roped and drug to the fire. Megan sports a mean vaccine!

"Smokin Crooked H Brand"
YEH! We got the fireplace done. You can see Bill's mantel above the rock work. Nikki's daughter Paysen is our model. We were watching the kids for a week so Nikki and Caleb could get away for a little vacation before he deploys for a....YEAR! Yikes.
This is the cabin in Happy Jack. The outside is about done but the inside is pretty primitive (if that's what you call blankets for bathroom doors) We're probably done for the year and will add lights, cabinets and floor covering next year. After all, the guys say we don't want to work ourselves out of a job. Come and see us. We're there until October.

the fireplace looks great!
Wow, mom! Look at this post! Its great! Good job! I'm proud of you.
The cabin looks really good, too. I haven't seen it since Jake was finishing up the electrical work. Lame.
I googled crooked h ranch this morning out of curiosity of who's running the place now and I found your blog. My grandfather was Doc Roberts' foreman from 1972 to about 82 or 83. The cabin is amazing especially considering how we lived with no running water and two old outhouses up the hill from the three green cabins. The country hasn't changed and apparently neither has cowboying in the high pines. Glad to see Crooked H hasn't been divided into summer homes. Keep up the hard work!
