Published April 18, 2008 11:07 am - Modern amenities, traditional gear blend for happy trails. Technology a friend to modern cowboys By M. Scott Carter THE NORMAN TRANSCRIPT (NORMAN, Okla.) PURCELL, Okla. — They look like cowboys.

They’re on horseback or on a mule or in a wagon and they are covered in a fine patina of red dirt. Dirt and dust earned from miles and miles of Oklahoma. They have that “Western” look. That stoic, cowboy stare; the quiet nature and those small beads of sweat that leave their mark on the face. Yeah, they act like cowboys, too. But they’re not. Not really. Some are retired. Some are widows. One is a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Maysville and another, a civilian employee at Fort Sill in Lawton. A couple raise cattle. One was a sheet metal worker.
