Lyal Corliss: 81 and still shoeing horses

From Japhet Weeks | 04:20

In Northern California's Humboldt County, one octogenarian just won't quit working.

Lyal_-_09_small Lyal Corliss is 81. And he still travels along 300 miles of the California and Oregon coast in his Ford truck shoeing horses . This piece follows him on an average day at work. We hear from one of his clients and from the county brand inspector. Both of them agree that Lyal is one of a kind and a reminder of better times in this rural corner of California, where the agriculture and ranching industries are in decline.
