On Saturday, Papa and I rode Bob over to Javelina Canyon. We hiked about three hours, down the canyon to the intersection with Pole Cat Canyon, where we turned and circled back to our starting place. Along the way, we came upon a cholla cactus with a large cactus wren nest. We crossed over a concrete dam built in the 1950's. We hiked through the ranch's original homestead site with the old water tank built in 1936. A dozen cows were grazing upstream in Javelina Canyon. We are always humbled by those that lived on Winchester Ranch before us and the beauty of this ranch we live on.
