Hay Hauling and other Wyoming stuff

Just a glimpse into my brothers life in Wyoming. For years he has hauled hay to different feed grounds for the Fish & Game. This is a huge job and he works very hard. Usually up at 5 a.m., not home until dinner. He starts early summer and stops pretty much when the snow flies. He has his own trucks and tractors and gets to deal with all the frustrations that break downs bring. He hauls to many different locations, some easy, some tricky. These pictures show some of the trickiness, in my opinion. But someone as skilled as him probably doesn't think so.
And then when he isn't hauling hay, he takes out his other big pieces of equipment like backhoe, belly dump, etc. and builds roads. Some of the roads he builds are on terrain that I wouldn't drive on, much less use big equipment on that could get tippy. But after he has worked his magic, there is a beautiful safe road to drive on. I think he is pretty awesome.

After hearing so much about your brother, it's neat to see a picture of him and learn more about his life. Amazing.
