Twenty Miles of Fence recounts a decade of transformation when Bob
West, a westerner at heart, decided to escape the pretense of his
unfulfilling architectural life and to become, quite simply, a
cowboy. A cowboy? That old cliché about biting off more than you
can chew fittingly describes the lessons learned when West and his
family bought the Devil’s Washtub Ranch in Wyoming. Already
owning two horses, housed in a stylish stable on five acres near
the yuppie haven of Boulder, Colorado, West soon discovered that
ownership of two horses does not equal twenty miles of fence, 3,200
deeded acres, 400 BLM acres, 154 head of black angus, two and a
half miles of the North Laramie River—and what would become for
him the very best of times. Little did West know how those years
would test him, inspire him, and lead him back to his true
character.
