At Baldy Town, I met ROD TAYLOR !!!! I did not recognize him because he did not have his moustache, though I should have recognized him by his unique voice. I had been talking to him for some time, when I asked him, "What do you do here on the ranch?" He modestly said, "I work for the Cattle Department." -- Hey! I knew that is where Rod worked! -- So I said, "You know, the guy I would really like to meet is Rod Taylor" He then said, "Well, I'm Rod Taylor." |

This young bear had already paid a visit INSIDE the Commissary, earlier that day. He had gotten into some food, and was now back for some more! There was a portable bear trap, just around the corner, but he didn't take the bait and go in. The Staff had seen him coming again, and had wisely vacated the building and locked the door. One of the braver of the Staff later chased him off, ...after he had already decided to leave. |
Since 1983, Rod Taylor has worked as a cowboy for Philmont where he helps take care of around 800 head of livestock. |
