I really like your website. It's not just pictures, but it includes a great story. I don't know what it's like to own a ranch, but i've been going to my friend's since we were this big...ok so you can't see me show you how big, but we were real small then. It is a great place to simply just get away. It's amazing how one place can you make you feel so free. You don't have to worry about cars driving by, noisy traffic and tons of people. Most people don't really think about writing about a ranch because it's not something so far away from us like the mountains or the ocean are. However, i can say that the escape from urbanization on ranch beats any. I enjoyed your story and the pictures helped me picture your stepfather's ranch while I was reading. Thanks for sharing your experiences there.
