Riding 'round the ranch


Lately, Binbin has been going out to give feed to the horses, pigs, and chickens with the feed man. Feeding the critters is only part of the job, though. The first time, they came back with just four eggs, but the after lunch run today produced about 10 or 20 (according to Binbin’s count). That’s rewarding, but so too is the ride out and back in the back of one of the many pick-ups on the ranch.

A more unusual vehicle here is the pedi-cab that the cook uses to transport his dog back and forth from Henderson Station about 2 miles down the highway. The pedi-cab, is a 3 wheeler contraption with seating area affixed to the steering. The cook graciously gave the green light for a ride down to the fields and back before dusk yesterday evening. It’s got kind of touchy steering, and it’s slow-going through the softer, deeper pockets of sand, but that’s part of the charm.
