N3 February 08, 2020, 03:51:31 pm I’m thinking if everyone on LDOF pooled their resources we could chip in and purchase this. Would make a heck of a place for an annual get together!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Y1RHS0jN0
Re: N3 Reply #1 – February 08, 2020, 04:41:00 pm Looks like a bargain at $72,000,000. Plenty of room for RV parking.https://www.landsofamerica.com/property/50500-acres-in-Santa-Clara-County-California/7135858/Maybe the Nature Conservancy can pick it up, no one could ever pay the much just to raise cattle.Reminds me of the Tejon Ranch, another huge chunk of wild, privately held California.Home - Tejon RanchLarry

Re: N3 Reply #3 – February 08, 2020, 05:39:19 pm When it comes to ranches I covet, The Bar Cross in Cora, Wyoming always comes out ahead.If I had the money and could take the winters (which I don't and can't) that is where I'd be.I lived in Cora in the late 70's early 80's when the Bar Cross was owned by the Barlow family.John Barlow, a son, was a writer for the Greatful Dead. Some summers the band would come up to the ranch for 4th. of July.Hold impromptu concerts and invite the neighbors over for a BBQ.I lived on 40 acres just down the road and was invited, it was always a great time with interesting people around.I was in my early 20's then and found it fascinating.My next door neighbor was Slim Pickens, he lived on a big ranch that used the same access road as mine.Hardly ever there though, so I never got to meet him.
