All of the photos shown have been taken within the area
known as “Buffalo
Creek Village”, located at the most southerly end of the ranch. The long
irregular shape of the southern boundary is actually defined by the centerline
of Little Barber Creek as it winds it’s way at the edge of the property
beginning at the southwesterly corner traveling east past the Villa Residence,
the Train Station, behind the Buffalo Creek Volunteer Fire Department building,
past the Guest Log Cabin, the wooden gazebo and Little Barber then dumps it’s
contents into Sheridan Creek, just below the gray stained, redwood deck, beneath
the aspen trees. |

Creek. |

photo at the base of the pines trees. The photo is looking due west
at a breathtaking view of the Sierra’s, with the westerly border
of the ranch defined by 40 Sequoia Redwoods and a 3-rail wooden horse
fence seen in the background. |

The Weeping Willow frames the shot
and the wishing well overlooks the middle pond as the summer sun
casts shadows of the Water Wheel building. |
The "Keebler" and cartoon style Tree House is carved from
the base of a fallen six foot diameter Sequoia Redwood and brought
back to life as a play area for kids of all ages and sizes to enjoy.
