Great pictures of the former 5/8 Ranch! This is the ranch where I was raised... it's so great to see it again! Thanks for posting photos of "home".

I have never commented on your pictures of the country you live in Tap, so perhaps it's about time. You live in a beautiful, scenic country and your photography is wonderful. Your cattle look great and I like your operation.
Is it dry up there? Here, our once lush green grass is burning up now. It looks like it should be mid-August instead of the end of June.
One last comment: I have tried to imagine Indians on foot stampeding a herd of buffalo over a cliff and I'm not sure it could be done, even on horseback. I realize legend has it that they accomplished this, but I have my doubts.

If I am right, you must be a relative of my mothers???? Also, if I am right, if I got you a VHS tape could you make me a copy of the movie made over there when you were a kid? I have been wanting one since I saw the movie in grade school. Boy, a guy can't get away with anything here. 
JF Ranch, so as to not confuse anyone anymore, we went over to the Jumpoff to help the manager of the ranch. We don't own any of it, or the cattle either. But the manager and I have simular ideas about ranching, so we get along great.  It is not so far across country, but it is close to 30 miles around to get there. And as Grapevine will tell you, the road in there is not always an all season road. It is some of my favorite country on earth, and I feel lucky to get to know the country over there.
Yes, it is really drying out up here. We are somewhat green under the needlegrass, cheatgrass, and chineese(sp) brome, but it would make one heck of a hot fire in the right conditions. Yesterday we had 40+mph wind gusts, and 95 degrees. That really takes the sap out of the grass. But we almost always dry out pretty good by the 4th of July in this country. We are glad to have the grass growth we have this year.
Thanks for the compliments BTW.

Tap;
You show us these great pictures{which I enjoy very much} and then you mention the word "HIGHWAY". Maybe I should just look at the pictures and ignore the text.
