A side door led to a cramped toilet stall. The room had a sink with cold running water, but for a hot shower we had to traipse to a building across the compound. Amenities such as telephone, TV and radios were nowhere to be seen. The ranch lies about a quarter mile from the Colorado River. Massive cottonwood and sycamore trees shade the compound of cabins and dormitories.
Cabins sit in blocks.
Uncut river rocks form building corners. Wooden facings are painted pea green, and the eves, dark brown. Three B's soothed the sting of our devilish day on the trail. First came boots, which we all removed gleefully. For our wives, bathing came next.
