Remembering our Neighbor, Earl McPherson

Photos from one of our Legacy rides this past summer. A number of years ago when our neighbor Earl McPherson was still present in our Hereford/Alkali community, I took a group of young riders to their ranch headquarters. Earl greeted us on horseback and said to me, "I haven't seen this many riders come through in one group since the cowboys of the Cross S". The Cross S was an open range outfit of the late 1800's into the early 1900's. Every time I take a Legacy II ride out, I think of the old time cowboys riding the open range of Western Dakota.
