at last I found the granite fence posts that
I've been looking for! They extend
on both side of the road for several hundred
yards. The ranch is several hundred yards
from (N) of the intersection of:
Huburn-Folsom Road (on this one)
Brennans Road
King-Loomis Road
The headquarters seem to be a new
ranch house west of the road - across a
small creek. They have paralleled the old
fence with a newer "satin cedar" post-
board one - so typical of horse ranches.
There was no name on the post here.
The granite posts were 6-8 inches
square, and averaged 3 or 4 feet tall with
several close to 5 or 6 above the ground.
The west side of road gramp had three
strands of barbed wire; those on the east
had one section (3 feet) of bag fencing.
The west - with new wood fence had behind
it -- an irrigated horse pasture. The
un-parallel eastern section was hilly-
rocky, weedy, with live oaks and an old
orchard.
