A beautiful site for lunch. . . with only the creek for company.
We did meet one guy with his 4 dogs on the road. He stopped to visit with us. He has worked for one of the ranchers about 8 years. He shared some information about his boss . . . they do not like for people to travel through their ranch (even though it is a public road), they live off the grid using solar power but do not get it for his house because the panels would show from the road and they are ugly. So they buy him diesel for his generator (makes lots of noise) at a cost of about $4000 which will not carry him through the winter.
