Pendleton, OR

Looking for a way to commemorate the dedication of the cowboys who brought prosperity to the area, the City of Pendleton commissioned local artist Michael Booth to create a sculpture depicting the arduous task of driving cattle in times of western drought. Completed in 1999, his realistic take on the subject is a full-color, four-ton, panoramic installation.

The sculpture is located in the middle of a curving interstate offramp. Accessibility is "at your own risk", as there is no designated parking. Apparently it is intended to be seen briefly in passing as you're exiting the highway.
