In Southern California this is an undisturbed historical landscape second to none. There is only one new house in its entire 22,000 plus acres. There is an early California adobe and the ruins of several more. There are numerous archeological remains left by Native Americans.

When you enter this mountain top ranch you don't just feel the presence of the past, you are enveloped in it. A California believed long gone, straight out of the history books. It is not gone yet; this is truly its last stand. One cannot use too many superlatives to describe this extraordinary survivor of California as it was before American conquest.

If we were to preserve nothing else in life this would be the one. It is that important."
