At Baldy Town, I met ROD TAYLOR !!!!
At Baldy Town, I met ROD TAYLOR !!!!
I did not recognize him because he did not have his
moustache, though I should have recognized him by his
unique voice. I had been talking to him for some time,
when I asked him, "What do you do here on the ranch?"
He modestly said, "I work for the Cattle Department."
-- Hey! I knew that is where Rod worked! --
So I said, "You know, the guy I would really
like to meet is Rod Taylor"
He then said, "Well, I'm Rod Taylor."

This young bear had
already paid a visit INSIDE
the Commissary,
earlier that day.

He had gotten into some
food, and was now back
for some more!

There was a portable
bear trap, just around
the corner, but he didn't
take the bait and go in.

The Staff had seen him
coming again, and had
wisely vacated the building
and locked the door.

One of the braver of the
Staff later chased him off,
...after he had already
decided to leave.
Rod sings and plays
on these albums:
'Philsongs - Remembered Days',
‘A Philmont Collection’,
‘Ridin' Down the Canyon’,
‘Live From the Tooth - Philsongs II’
& ‘The Rifters'

Rod is the only full time
BSA Staff employee
with the job title of ‘Cowboy’.
Since 1983, Rod Taylor has worked as a cowboy for Philmont
where he helps take care of around 800 head of livestock.
See the "Ridin' Down the Canyon" page
for a short biography on Rod Taylor.
