(This just in late 9-1-10: Ed Dunlap had a bad 4-wheeler accident on Tuesday.  Seems as if a 4-wheeler turned over on him, pinning him overnight.  Search continued Wednesday and someone in their plane found him.  It was 24 hours from the time of the wreck before he was finally in the hospital in Burns.  His condition:

* they have filled in where the bone is missing in the skull 
* stitched 6-9 inch cut on his head 
* reset dislocated shoulder 
* has broken collar bone 
* 2 bleeders on the brain 
* lots of swelling

LeroyCowart, who has been at the hospital with him, said something about his dogs being with him and curled up with him....helped to keep him warm.  Thankfully the night was warmer than it had been for 5 or 6 days, but still was not a summer night by a long shot. Friends can call Ed and Jeanette's phone number 541-493-2242 to give support.

Many of you who are regular visitors to my website may not know Ed by name but you have seen hundreds of photos of him thru the years. Check my slide show above to see a photo of Ed.

Welcome to Buckaroo Country
Photos of Great Basin Buckaroos in eastern Oregon, northern Nevada and northern California
by Mary Williams Hyde

I grew up on a big old time cattle ranch and have always had a buckaroo soul and a deep passion for the desert....but because I couldn't live on a ranch while I raised my children, and I looked stupid in a hat, I was lost unrecognizable –for years until I began taking these photos so that you could know who I really am. I take photos of what was seared into my heart by the cattle, the horses, the vast sage-covered desert, and the old time cowboys I rode with all those years ago...and what I saw at the old Indian rodeos at Beatty. I look and look and look for those bits of memories to photograph, trying to put it all back together for myself...as it was such a huge loss to me. I realize that I still don't look like I'm part of the buckaroo world – weathered and shapeless as I am now ...but really I have always been. Next year, too, will be the 100th anniversary of my family's ranch in the Klamath Basin....and that I can go to Yamsi and kick up dust that tens of thousands of cattle have trampled and where ghosts of Uncle Buck, long gone Bar Y buckaroos, and my dad ride by my side means the world to me.

Folks really like the "realness" of the shots. No fakes. No posers. I think the cover shot has garnered more positive comments than any cover in the past.– Bill Reynolds, Publisher, The Cowboy Way

I don't think [this is too much to ask]. Thousands of dollars in equipment and travel, thousands of miles traveling, [thousands] of hours uploading and editing photos.....and people pay a few dollars for the finished product!!! They don't even have to pay for the photo shoot or ranch call. Victoria Boyd, Ranch Life Photography

A $20 annual subscription to the photo part of my website will make it possible for me to continue to come to your event, to your ranch, or to photograph you competing for no charge.
