This website consists mostly of photographs and episodes of Robert and Maggie McCune's back road adventures through Ranch Country of the American West. The gallery of photos will show you weathered barns and abandoned ranch houses, corrals, fence-lines stretching across open fields, windmills connecting land with sky, and vast regions of grazing land.
Also, by clicking on The Books (in the Menu), you will find a description of Robert’s GUARDIANS OF THE LAND, about the seven and a half months he and Maggie spent in 1998, visiting sixteen ranches in eleven states while living in the converted work van they call SHADOW CATCHER. A second book is a memoir of the eight months Robert served in Korea during the early days of that war, titled THE HILLS AROUND US: KOREA 1950-1951.
Maggie and Robert invite you to return to this website now and then, for new photos and episodes of their travels through Ranch Country.
(May 24, 2010. Just completed another Backroads adventure. In two or three weeks, you'll find some more photos of windmills, corrals, and fence-lines in the gallery. Several additional photos have already been added since this site was launched in mid-2009. At the ages of 68 and 78, Maggie and I are still getting out there on the back roads of America's Ranch Country).
