Down on the Ranch

We’ve had the county fair already, but it seems like the Page County Heritage Festival is when the leaves change and the Fall colors start showing up. This year, looks like we’ll have an extra good time as my sister Nancy and her kids will be joining us out here in the country.

They’ve booked a room in Stanley at the River's Bend Ranch near the river, so we’ll get a chance to check that out. On Sunday they have a horseback ride scheduled and Mary will join them, while my oldest nephew and I will find something else to do – maybe a walk along the river there or a short drive over to Newport to check out the boat landing and rapids.



I’m writing from the brick terrace on Saturday morning, waiting for them to get into town. Looks like they’ve gotten lucky with the weather, we’re going to have a beautiful day out here.


Shortly after I wrote this post, we got the word that everybody was settling in at the River’s Bend Ranch, which is just along US 340 outside of Stanley. The photos here are of the property. One of them, showing the 3-story building off across a field, is “The Bunkhouse” where Nancy and my niece stayed.
