"Howdy, my name
is Justin Carbon
and I've been a
fixture in these parts
for longer than most
folks can remember.
My old horse Copper
and I have probably
come closer than
anyone else to ride'n
every trail in Carbon
County. Over the
years I've been a
miner, a soldier,
a trapper, and a
logger. I've done
about every job
there is around here,
but mostly I'm just
an old cowboy with
a few tales to tell.
"Come let me show
you my Country."
