On the Cover: The Statz family from Red Bluff enjoy their visits to R-Ranch–for Stevie, age 8; and Shad, age 7, the sweet little ponies are a real highlight. Shetland ponies and gentle trail horses are just a few of the delights at R-Ranch in Northern Siskiyou County. This privately owned recreational ranch offers memberships which include many outdoor amenities such as camping, hiking, fishing, swimming and rafting, horseback riding, off-roading and more. A public open house is June 10. r-ranchca.com
