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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
