Never was a ranch i loved working at more than the denny, the corrals at the stone house by the rail road tracks was always a good spot to set up camp, had a few run ins with nesters and weirdos but had plenty of fun there
Thanks, I enjoyed. I spent a lot of time in that general area (not ranching, but geology and engineering for the Nelson limestone mine right up against Peach Springs Reservation). The town the other direction from Flagstaff would be Kingman. I would always stay in either Kingman or Williams.
@@HorsemanshipAsAnArt Ha, cool. I probably saw some of your cattle. I always assumed they were from the reservation, but perhaps they were from your operation. Peach Springs was unique place. There was an 8 or 9 mile unpaved shortcut that cut across the reservation you could take going back towards Kingman. The reservation police were kind enough to just give me written warnings for speed without citations. And many of the reservation residents worked at the mine site. If you ever do go through Peach Springs area, the Hualapai bread at the Hualapai lodge at Diamond Creek should not be missed!
@@andrewheinemann-d7m By the way my sister is a DR. in Geology with a masters in Physics, I guess that means she blows up rocks... She works for Washington State doing something. I am a bit of a closet geologist myself but more just looking rock formations and thinking about how God made the world. Fun subject.
@@HorsemanshipAsAnArt Yes for sure the geology and geophysics world is very interesting. I remember we have in common about our sisters, my sister is also a PHD in Geophysics from Caltech, she worked on mapping the Brazilian basement rock of the rain forest, and some research in Antartica. Now she is a professor on the east coast and a mom. I was much more pragmatic and needed to work in industry, so I did a bachelors in geology then a masters in mining engineering after working on the field for 10 years. I could not get to work in the industry soon enough! Perhaps your sister is doing stuff for the state of Washington related to the volcanism and or the landslides? I understand your closet geologist description. I am a closet cowboy, I ride my horses everyday in the nearby mountains as if I have some important mission (but I dont), and get to help friends nearby do some cattle work, mainly pushing out of the nearby mountains in the fall and sorting, and up in the spring.
I just figured out you wer talking about Arizona. I thought perhaps it was George P. Denny who had Goose Valley in Red Bluff and Burney CA.... He may have had the Quinn River ranch in NW Nevada...
I think he did. I never worked for either place but I spent a week at Quinn River between rodeos one time. I can't even remember who it was I was pals with that worked there.
That's some great background sound for going about my work day. I love the stories and life experiences.
Thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas ❄️☃️🌲
you bet, glad you liked it.

Yeah it can be a fun spot.

Yes I know that mine, often we would have cattle get across the fence. I never went to peach springs but the guy that was on that ranch full time did.
