Home on the Range

I Wonder what Cactus Ed would have to say right about now?



















"Overlooking the ranch by Olympic Park in Kimball Junction"

"In this glare of brilliant emptiness, in this arid intensity of pure heat, in the heart of a weird solitude, great silence and grand desolution, all things recede to distances out of reach, reflecting light but impossible to touch, annihilating all thought and all that men have made... to a spasm of whirling dust far out on the golden desert."

----Edward Abbey





"Of all the featherless beasts, only man, chained by his self-imposedslavery to the clock, denies the elemental fire and proceeds as best he can about his business, suffering quietly, martyr to his madness. Much to learn."

----Edward Abbey



"As between the skulking and furtive poacher, who hunts for the sake of meat, and the honest gentleman shooter, who kills for the pleasure of sport, I find the former a higher type of humanity." ---Edward Abbey
