Knots Slides & Wild Rags




Title:
Knots Slides & Wild Rags

Description:
During the 25th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, we caught up with several Elko County locals and visitors to find out exactly what wild rags are all about in ranching life across the West. Special thanks to Wylie & the Wild West for allowing us to use the song, "Out West" from their Bucking Horse Moon CD as the background music for this video.
