In the beginning which was 1/15/1981 was our move in date.  Not much here to speck of just lots of empty land.
		Original picture of the houses on the ranch.  The trees are gone but it is different than it is right now.
		Ariel Picture I took on a helicopter ride of the ranch.  That was 2007 in February. Yes we really did take a helicopter ride to look for Bear.  We took tons of photos of the properties we looked at.  I want a helicopter for me!  How cool.
		Scooter in his Chevy Vortec engine commercial.  Great overlay! Scooter is getting up in years now.  He is 28 this year.  Makes me feel old too.  Scooter his arthritis is a problem. He is not as fast as he used to be.
		Ron's two cows getting acquainted. The calf was one that the two Russian Brown cows had never seen before.  So they got to playing and this is the result.  Head butting.
		Ranch picture of the center of the yard.  Trying to keep the place clean is a real challenge.  We keep the place pretty clean but seems like things are always taking us off the property to look for Bear.
		We have wood!  Ron is selling and cutting firewood like crazy this year.  He had this tree that was brought in.  I want to make a carving of it.
		Two baby raccoons that came in this year. We sent them out to the back country.
		A Coopers Hawk that was half drowned when he came to me.  Released after the first night. I just had to get some close up pictures of him. We love the big birds as they do eat mice and gophers!
		Fires! Fires! Fires!  We have had more than enough around us.  Someone keeps us safe and we have not had any damage. Check out the video on Turko files for what we got for all our efforts!  The fire still cost us $500 fine!
		Not doing much movie work these days but this is our cow Bessie.  She was in a Toyota commercial.  A race at La Jolla speed way with a chicken in the other vehicle.  Quite an experience.
		Outside on the porch.  The lamp posts came from a park in Chula Vista many years ago.  There are three of them. Front porch view.
		White peacocks are our special.  We have several of them including Big Bird! Big Bird was a baby that we raised in the house due to the weather at the time.  We had already lost 2 others and so we just brought him in the house!
