It is a rare event that a new photo location is added on the TSR. Greg worked with the family of this privately owned property known as "The Ranch" so that we could use it. Both days we stopped here and it was fantastic!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pete flew his drone here and got a really nice perspective.

I really need to get one of these things.

The results!

 

Hiking back across The Ranch to the embarkation point just east of CR 2124

 

 

Looking west at CR 2124, another of my favorite spots.

 

 

Bill Droter doing what he does... and having a blast!

 

The tractor was placed her by a TSR MOW crew to clear some brush. It was supposed to be moved, but wasn't. On the first day, Greg tried to move it but didn't have the key. The key couldn't be located and we were unable to jump it, though we tried for quite a while. So, I've "photoshopped" it out of most photos from that day. The following day, the key was located and Greg moved it out of the way.
