Been through the Beowawe area before now that I think of it and since the post have gone through there a few more times. Crescent Valley and on down to Austin via that route.
NOW it's the Broken Branch Saloon. Sure doesn't look anything like it did when I stopped in there in 1978. It used to be a nice, quaint, friendly little Saloon.
Thanks for the quick reply. Looks like a really beautiful area.
Excellent photo. I imagine that is near 10,000 feet. I will wait until the snow melts to check it out!
Very cool old cafe, I love abandoned buildings like this. Great shot, L&F.
Desert4wd, do you know about Google closing Panoramio down? I am contacting as many members as I can with a link to this petition. Thousands of members are mobilizing to keep Pano going and it would be great if you could help. Thank you! Diane, Oregon.

This was a shared ranch by the Wilcox's (my great grandparents) and another family. My grandparents (Tommy and Dorthy Wilcox) used to take us camping here for our summer vacation as kids. The Wilcox Ranch moved down into the valley next to the Sacramento River. Wilcox ranch used to be a large working cattle ranch and the Wilcox's were very active in the community and settling the area. Roosters Landing fishing resort was sold to Gene the current owner by the Wilcox's. Also nearby is the coleman fish hatchery. 8o acres
The truck is a Dodge Power-Wagon which is registered to the wife of Bobby Beausoleil. Bobby Beausoleil was a member of the infamous Charles Manson Family, who are responsible for the Tate/LaBianca murders in Los Angeles in August of 1969. In September 1969, Manson Family members Sherry Ann Cooper and Barbara Hoyt fled Barker Ranch (20 miles from Ballarat up Goler Wash) and made it to Ballarat in the truck which was nearly out of gas. Upon finding out that the girls were missing, Charles Manson hightailed it down to Ballarat saying he wanted to give them some money for their trip. I was at Ballarat when the girls showed up and they asked me to give them a ride into town (Trona), to which I said yes, I would. I met and talked to Charles Manson, who invited me to visit him at the Barker Ranch. - I didn't go, and that's probably why I'm alive today to talk about it.

They did a nice job refurbishing / restoring it as well. I stayed there a month after it re-opened. :)
