Western, anyone?

[indycop]

I love these westerns you guys are posting up. Lots of great deals on OFAS on for these babies. You can refurb an old one and have it looking good much cheaper than buying just the felt for a new one. Even the old dogs can be turned around. Here's an old brown Miller Bros taco shaped piece I got off the bay that I reblocked and trimmed into an Eastwood "Man With No Name" hat...

Looks good! I wonder how many 7 5/8 can be found on ebay, if it is as hard as finding a fedora.

Does an Akubra 3" brim qualify as Western? Or should I put it up in the Open Road brotherhood?

That's about 100 times better, I'd say. Very, very nice. Hooray. Salutations. Et cetera.

You can't just leave us hanging with a pic! Is this your property, or somewhere you can go and rent horses or what!? Details!!

 

[GWD]

Okay, This is my Dads property in a little town called Shell, Wyoming. It's 17 acres which back up to BLM (Bureau of Land Management). My Dad lives there 6 months out of the year so we try to get up there and visit him as much as possible.

This is a typical view out the front of the property

This is my youngest hamming it up.

This is my oldest with "her horse"

A little bump for the old fashioned western style that Dinerman has been displaying (again) lately. Here's a site with some nice, but really pricey examples.

GWD, I hadn't looked at this thread before. Those photos, that place, and your family look fantastic.

 

[GWD]

Thanks Lefty! I wish I were there right now.

GWD I hope you stand to inherit that someday so it will stay in the family. Absolutely beautiful place.
