[Leica] the west....

[sethrosner at nycap.rr.com (Seth Rosner)]

My mountains, my country, Steve. When I was a kid - 14 - my mom and dad did 
my brother and me one of the great favors of our lives and sent us to work 
for two summers on a ranch on the west slope of the Tetons in eastern Idaho. 
It was up before sun-up - 5AM - big ranch breakfast, then wrangling the 
horses, rigging fence, working the cow-calf units, digging potatoes, big 
ranch supper, then in our bunks by 8, dog-tired. Finished work Saturday 
lunch, then softball on a very rough field, grounders bouncing every 
which-way, and after early supper into town (Ashton) for cherry-cokes, a 
whack at the nickel slot machines and a film. At the end of the summer, Jack 
Young, proprietor, a direct descendant of the late great Brigham, took us on 
a two-week horseback pack trip through the Tetons and Yellowstone. They are  
my mountains, the most beautiful place I have seen in my life.
