Ranch history comes alive

History buffs from Rapid City (Jon Nelson and John Amato) met with Blake and Arden for the day to discuss history of the Running Water Station.  Jon and John spent many hours going over the site with metal detectors, they found a pocket watch (with initials D.E.O.), a spoon handle with engraved letters and many pieces of metal and glass.  Jon presented us with the book Crossing the Plains with Custer that he co-authored with Paul Horsted.  This was quite and interesting and enjoyable break for us from the intense work of calf weaning.
