Happy Fence Friday!
Not all happy cows come from California....
Mount Rainier towers above many large ranches near Muckleshoot. If anyone wants a location I could probably figure out where this is, we did a whole lot of 'what's down that road' on this day. :-)
the map marker is a really rough estimate, we were just driving around looking for views in a place I've never been. It's all good around there.

Tide was low at sundown on Lone Ranch Beach, thus many rocks and much sea life was exposed. In the distance, a figure stood on the sea stacks at the base of Cape Ferrelo.
This beautiful area has a troubled history. Cape Ferrelo was named after a Spanish Explorer of the area in 1592 when Spain was seeking control. The beach was named after an early settler who established a ranch here and had conflict with the natives. The inhabitants before the arrival of Europeans were the Chetco. The Chetco lived in villages here and harvested the bounty of sea life. The Chetco were massacred in the mid 1850's, and the survivors were forced to move the Siletz Reservation a couple hundred miles north. The Chetco are now part of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians although they have maintained strong cultural ties to the area. Minerals were found here and the US Borax Company did some mining in 1890's and 1960's. The company is currently engaged in controversial development of a thousand residential units and a commercial area. It's controversial as a result of possible degradation of rare plants and archeological sites. When we visited, we were unaware of the history and found the rugged beauty of the beach and the cape amazing.
Happy Slider Sunday!
The Shellback Ranch road. Back in the late 70's early 80's I was considering taking the offer to be a ranch hand on this ranch. Just West of Cheyenne. Ah, the road not taken. Now days the working ranch has houses all around it. In fact some of the houses maybe on the ranch. Yes, lots of changes in the past 4 decades or so. The country side is still very nice.
“Feds adding models to firearms ban, plan to donate confiscated guns to Ukraine”
There’s nothing more democratic than the government confiscating private property and giving it to someone else. Oh, wait, the government isn’t really confiscating the guns, they’re buying them through a buyback program. It’s the authoritarian way, kind of like: take the covid vaccine or lose your job—it’s your choice. But, hey, at least there will soon be more guns on the black market. The Canadian government better file off those serial numbers before they off load their confiscated booty. I wonder how much money the Trudeau government has laundered through their dealings with the Ukraine? Where’s Hunter Biden when you need him? Wait, we have the Trudeau foundation! It’s modeled after the Clinton foundation. Pay-for-play! 10% for the big guy!
2 Chronicles 35:7 “And Josiah gave lambs and goats from the flock as Passover offerings for all the people who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand oxen: these were from the king's private property.”
I drive by this abandoned ranch several times a year as it is just a few miles from my home in Lassen County, California, USA. More specifically, it is just east of what was the small town of Amedee around the turn of the 20th century. On this particular morning, the area had gotten a nice dusting of fresh snow overnight which I think enhanced the scene with the old broken Aermotor windmill and neglected barn.
Ranching is one of the few industries in this area and I still see cattle and sheep ranging on adjacent properties quite frequently. Hopefully this place will be see use again one day; there’s a very faded “for sale” sign on the post where I shot this image.
Descendants from animals in a zoo belonging to William Randolph Hearst,
On Hearst Ranch, a few miles from Hearst Castle,
NW San Luis Obispo Co., California
These wild animals are often seen at a distance from the highway and often not seen at all. Luckily, this trip by they happened to be close.
Barker Ranch - Death Valley
Initially used as a mining property from the 1940s, it later became infamous as the hideout of Charles Manson and his "family".
The ranch had a large building (only the foundation remains) and several out buildings. This is one of the few remaining out buildings.
Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, New Mexico, was originally the summer home of the artist Georgia O'Keefe but she eventually moved there permanently. These hills and rock formations were a continuing inspiration to her and are often represented in her paintings.
This view is from the Ghost Ranch Visitor Centre
You can see some of her paintings here
If you are familiar with the work of Ansel Adams you may recognise this photo of Georgia O'Keefe
Grazing cattle at an old cattle ranch nestled in the hills beneath the Collegiate Range along route 285 in Colorado. One valley over from the previous picture, the day's ominous clouds in the region continued to deliver a picturesque dramatic background for this hungry photographer!
Thanks to everyone for your views, comments and faves! I really appreciate them!
Best viewed large!

Located in what people around here like to call "High Desert". Don't see a great deal of desert by my sight. Maybe it's the sagebrush.
