living through the past

On the way back from Washington last weekend, I made my first stop at the Imperial Stock Ranch in Shaniko, Oregon. I have been buying lamb from the woman who runs the sheep and wool aspect of the ranch for almost 8 years now. Her and her family are living on and operating a 138 year old, continuously running ranch. The picture of the large barn is where they store barn type of stuff, as well as house their museum of found objects from the land. The saddles are all found objects along with some other crazy old stuff.
