Sunday, August 3, 2014 –

Nathan and I drove over across the river to a place we and the boys have leased. I hadn’t ever been on this ranch before, so I knew I would be wanting my camera. It’s a very pretty place and the cattle seem very well satisfied.

If you haven’t been out and about in the country around the rolling plains area lately, you may not have seen how the ranch land is now criss-crossed with high line wires. This has all happened just in the last 18 months. It’s such a shame that so much beautiful country has been so marred. I wish they would have at least kept to the main highways. Instead they follow whatever is the most direct line, even if it cuts right through tracts of land.
