FIELD NOTES

February 18, 2023 — Always so impressed by the local talent and crew of Hawaii. Started with a local ranching operation on the Big Island and then eventually made our way to Kauai for some work with the cowboys and local rodeo arena. A great group all around. Had some fun with the hazer on this one. -IW
