[QUOTE="J, post: 260369, member: 2167"] I'm glad it ended the way it did. I read a story in the newspaper a few years ago about a man in Colorado, a 64 year old cowboy that spent 36 hours in the saddle with nothing but his dogs with him. I believe he and another cowboy were out looking for lost cattle. They split up sometime during the day and the old man found himself in some bad terrain at sunset. He decided instead of taking the chance of falling on the way down the trail he would just wait it out till morning. So he, his horse and dogs found a spot to wait it out. They stood all night in the snow and the next day instead of heading back he continued looking for those lost cows. The next day just before sunset again a rescue worker found him, and asked if he was the man that was lost and he answered I dn't think so. When the rescue worker asked his name he told him that thye had been looking for him he said well I guess you found me. :) Ended up one of his legs had to be amputated because it froze solid. :( When they asked him if he was ever scared he told them it was just another day on the job. Sounds like an old time real cowboy to me. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
