I know Mom said, "NO Indian names," but I can't think of a better one...okay so I haven't really thought about it that much. We'll just call it The Cherokee Ranch for now.
I have to say it is really cool. Really cool. I will admit I was skeptical at first when my parents said they were going to look at some Moondance Ranch property for sale out by Duchesne. Duchesne?? Isn't that some weird hick-town out by... what is it even by?? I was pretty sure I had driven through there at one point or another and seemed to remember a lot of scrub oak and not much else. So let's just say I was skeptical.
They bought it. 40 acres of land out by Duchesne. The Cherokee Ranch.
Yesterday I wedged myself in-between two carseats in the back of my parent's Jeep Liberty and headed out to see the Cherokee Ranch. The drive was scenic and enjoyable complete with a few stops to nurse Lola, nurse ourselves with delicious hamburgers, and pick up a few things from Al's Food Barn (the only grocery store in Duchesne and a fine grocery store at that).
The Cherokee Ranch is maybe 15 minutes from Duchesne. The Cherokee Ranch is also HUGE. Huge. 40 acres is a lot of land, especially when you walk all the way around the perimeter with a 2 year old and a 5 month old. The Cherokee Ranch is 40 acres Riddled with hills, valleys, washes, ravines, junipers, pines, drift wood, and yes- scrub oak.
The implications of this purchase my parents made are still sinking in. Especially since everytime I referred to The Cherokee Ranch as their property they corrected me and called it our property. They bought all of this land for us. Our family. The Cherokee Ranch is destined to become 40 acres of awesome family memories and I, for one, cannot wait to get back out there with the whole family and explore all 40 acres over and over again.
