Last rides


2011 South America

The last day of riding was almost uneventful compared to previous days, but we took the opportunity to travel a 30 mile or so gravel side route to another remote ranch and stop for coffee and pie. This 10,000 hectare ( 23,000 acre) estancia handles a herd of over 12000 sheep and 1800 cattle, many of which are available for a grilled barbeque upon request. A small museum in the dining room featured a foot pedal operated metal lathe and a hand operated corn shucker.
