Here s who you'll meet at Shadow Ranch.
Dave Gregory
Dave is the ranch foreman. Always polite, somewhat shy, Dave is a man of frustratingly few words. When he does speak, he s all-business. He is truly a modern cowboy, equal parts ESPN, MTV, and the Outdoor Channel. He is not above trying to use his looks to charm his way out of awkward situations.
Tex Britten
Tex , the forty-something head wrangler, is an old-fashioned cowpoke. His weathered face and cynical attitude reflect the fact that he feels much more at home with horses and cattle than with humans. He s a terrible conversationalist (his favorite word is nope ), and he not-so-secretly enjoys putting Nancy in situations that he thinks she can t handle.
Shorty Thurmond:
The ranch cook, Shorty, is more talkative than the other two ranch hands combined. In his late thirties, he loves to gossip and for that reason loves having Nancy around. Because he also loves to cook, and takes great pride in the food he serves, the only thing that truly riles him is criticism of one of his creations. An admitted opportunist, he s always looking for ways to get rich quick, but as yet he hasn t found one.
Mary Yazzie
This single woman in her early forties is part Native American, and runs a store (or tourist trap, as Ed Rawley calls it) on land that is adjacent to Shadow Ranch. Mary knows all about the history of the area, especially as it pertains to the ancient Puebloans who inhabited the nearby cliff dwellings. When Nancy ultimately discovers her big secret, Mary is almost relieved; being deceitful is not in her nature -- or is it?
