JJJ Ranch - Final Night Picnic





The last night, the Barkers took us all down by the river for a good ol' fashioned cookout. The wind was strong enough to keep the bugs away and everyone enjoyed the sound of the rushing water, the fresh air, and the companionship. Max and Ann have great stories from years gone by. We fill ourselves for the last time this week.

A couple of the guests tried their hand at fishing and a small trout was caught, but enough to give anyone with interest a taste of fresh fish - REALLY fresh fish.

I have this thing about wading into the local waters on my trips - sometimes it is a bit more dangerous than others. So, I went for a quick wade in the water - about knee high. High enough with the current and loose rocks to give you a dip in the drink if you weren't careful.

On the way back to the ranch, we went by the Dam at Gibson Resevoir just outside the ranch property. Really something when you are up close.
