Grant-Kohrs Ranch Part 5

December 13, 2014  •  3 Comments

The blacksmith shop is also a working part of the ranch.   I will tell you that Lyndel is so personable and such a fun lady and she was spending the day making iron candy canes for kids.  She knows so much of the history of the ranch I think I could listen to her all day.  She also has authored many ranch articles in the local paper and is an amazing writer.  The park site says this about her: 

A self-taught smithy, Lyndel Meikle can hammer you out a hoof pick in minutes, or offer you a slice of lodgepole pine tree trunk bearing the ranch's G-K brand even quicker. 

Another favorite shot of mine.   Working hands - it speaks to my heart.
