CAMPITOS

Chilean sheep herder Lorenzo Cortez Vargas washes and prepares hot water for a cup of mate in his "campito," or small horse-drawn camp wagon, while watching a herd on Bureau of Land Management land outside Rock Springs, Wyo., Saturday, Feb. 7, 2009. Sheep herders working in southern Wyoming along the Colorado border complain of low pay, poor accomodations and lack of health care after they arrive on H2A visas to work for local ranchers.
