My mom could definitely do that one. What a story! I always wondered if that just-in-the-nick-of-time-with-his-jeep park ranger didn't set the whole thing up just to get a date.

Beef cattle round up- on foot-no horses or dogs allowed- extra points for cutting out the bull before he gets mad at folks messing with his cows, and double points for getting calves penned with their mommas.
