The sheep wagons take me back. When I was little kid, we stayed out at the lambing camp during lambing. My folks slept in the big bed in the cook shack, called “the Red House” for its red shingles on the outside walls. They put my sister and me in one sheep wagon, and my two little brothers in another, and which ever of the lambing crews were staying over in two others. Some of my father’s uncles pitched a sheep herders tent with a little wood stove in it, and some just slept in their pickups. Seemed like it invariably snowed.
“Alpaca obstacle course”? Must know more!
Kids get to lead alpacas over and around obstacles. Just for fun!

What a wonderful memory, thank you for sharing that! May I ask what state you were in at the time?
Wyoming. I grew up on a ranch in the Big Horn Basin, near Thermopolis. I love reading about your day-to-day!
Oh, I think you told me that before, sorry, I just got up and have only had 2 sips of coffee!
Coffee is my friend, too! LOL.
LOL
That sounds like so much fun! I read Ramon’s FB pages-he posts great pictures. Glad you had a pretty good time!
Thank you! Ramon has some amazing wagon pictures and videos. It’s a rabbit hole!!
