The present day Catwalk was erected on the site of the old water pipes that brought water from Silver Creek to the Graham mill. The Forest Service was busy laying trails. High schoolers have been going to Reserve since we have had school buses. Cattle gaze, but not as many as once did. There are few drovers.
Ranchers ride the range in pick-up trucks.
But there are no more lumbermen and few if any miners. There are lots of Forest Service people, artisans who work at home, and people who work with computers at home. There are retired people who work in their yards and gardens and who dream about the Old West. You can sing along with the country and western music, wear western clothes, and relish old John Wayne movies. You can half close your eyes and see Indians up on the ridge.
