The Lay of the Land: westering from “the Point of Beginning”
|
The beginning of the Public Land Survey System in the U.S.

I stay for the kindnesses in the classroom, the solitude at home, and the consolation in the countryside.

Maverick Ranch Notes
Our road had become a driving hell of creek bed, ripple-waves, and projecting rocks

Hail to the Thief

Maverick Ranch Notes
Our sister Martha was our leader in every endeavor

We welcome LareDOS! It is good to have this unique and outstanding voice speaking again. Much has occurred in the last two years to change everyone’s life. Our lives changed when our sister Martha died after a brief time of illness. When a loss is unexpected, time becomes one of the only ways to come to grips with the loss.
