What's left of the Happy Bottom Riding Ranch can be found at 34-51'49"N -- 117-57'22" on Google Earth. Quite a bit actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Ah... Too bad Pancho is gone; Chuck Yeager is gone; and a whole era of aviation history is gone. I was not lucky enough to be involved directly, and now am too old to get involved directly with the efforts to explore the high frontier.
