The Pinnacle Peak area is a relatively new 'discovery' of ours so I don't have old photos. However, we noticed a book "Pinnacle Peak" part of the Images of America series that is by Les Conklin and the Greater Pinnacle Peak Association. It has some great historical photos in it. (I have it on the Amazon carousel on the right hand column of our travelnwrite home page - you could click on it and take a look inside to get an idea of the photos it has included - that's not a sales pitch, by the way, just an easy way to sneak a peek. I am researching for a future post Lois Kellogg's Crescent Moon Ranch that was sold to the Four Seasons, so if you have any information about that, we'd love to hear it as well.Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-1431655651430455492012-06-14T14:02:45.060-07:002012-06-14T14:02:45.060-07:00Thank you for acknowledging the post.

Riding green horses, breaking them for trail rides, a camera in a saddle bag wouldn't last long. I said that to ask this, would you happen to have pictures of Reata Pass before the developement took it over? All I have from that area now is some old halters I used, an old horse brush I used when putting the horses up for the day, and fading memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-4022990181945892752012-06-14T13:12:54.068-07:002012-06-14T13:12:54.068-07:00Thanks so much for writing!

I love the idea of Horses for Hire, just think of all the place you could explore on horseback! Hope you'll continue to follow our tales of Arizona - your old stomping ground.Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-38858103621326814142012-06-14T10:29:17.899-07:002012-06-14T10:29:17.899-07:00Back in the early 1980's, directly across the ...Back in the early 1980's, directly across the road from Doc's Reata Pass steak house, was Horses for Hire. I was a wrangler and trail guide with Horses for Hire. A deal waas worked out with Doc, if any of his employees wanted a guided horse-back trail ride, we would serve them, in return I was able to get a meal from Doc. Food was grat and so was the iced tea, which Doc served me on the hot summer days. I took my family back there in 2010, still the same great food. Too bad the area is over-populated today. I have many fond memories of the establishment, Horses for Hire, and the good food from Cavallieres Reat Pass Steak House.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
