The C- Bar Ranch

So some of you probably know that my Aunt has a 10,000 acre ranch out in Texas. I used to spend every summer there growing up and haven't been back in summer for a few years (I was there for x-mas break this year though) so my girlfriend and I flew out there to meet up with my friend John who lives in Austin now. He picked us up from the airport on Tuesday evening and our friend Morgan was driving down from Dallas and we met up in Lampasas so he could follow us to the ranch cause there is no real address or way to give directions to the ranch. Some of the photos were taken by Geneva as well.

We spent most of our days at the pool, fishing and trying to spot the alligator out of the water haha.

Fishing at the tank in the deer pasture which is also where 4 of the mini horses are held.



The majestic mini horse mom haha









This llama was always in the water cause it is so damn hot



One of the many peacocks chillin' on the bump gate





The ranch is a working cattle ranch so expect lots of pics of cows



One of the bulls, he was HUGE





Geneva posing with a huge largemouth bass she caught.....







These were all taken in the junkyard, we went for a stroll around to take pics and there are some awesome finds out there. I used to always go out there to catch snakes when I was a kid but they unfortunately sold a lot of the rare old cars that used to be in there. There were a few Model T and Model A's which they just sold the last Model T and have one Model A and Ford 1914 left. There used to be a ton of old caddies and military vehicles out there but they sold a lot of them.
























A tree was growing out of the engine bay





My cousin's old VW dune buggy







First pile of tires





My favorite car in there



The VW guys are stoked on the stance and rust

















Fairlane











This is the old ATV I spent most summers of my life riding around the ranch on, sucks to see it in such shitty condition now









Pile of old record players and audio equipment



"The Shop" is just behind the house and is where all the work is done on the the cars, trucks, tractors or any of the mechanical equipment.





Warpaint is our 28 year old mini horse, he is the father of all the other mini horses on the ranch besides his girlfriend.





John's room which is my cousin molly's old room.



Cool shot of the living room



I hate this stupid bird, he is such a bitch and always trys to bite any guy that walks by but loves girls and really took to Geneva so he hates me even more haha.











There are at least 40 "wild" cats that live around the ranch and very few of them will let you get close or touch them.



Just a few day old kittens





This is the railroad tank and is the best fishing spot on the ranch.











Every few casts you usually get a decent largemouth bass or sunfish







This is my brothers Ford Excursion that I drive when I am out there, 8" lift I think and 38" tires with locking diffs and all that jazz.



Morgan and Geneva



The "bunk house"
















Panoramic shots of random things





Drifters got nothing on this pile of tires







These are not all the pics, I have to get the film developed from my film camera and all that and there are more here:
