Golden Valley Ranch is on M-72 about 6 miles east of Empire. For many years, you could rent riding horses there, and a guide would take you back into wooded paths that are now a subdivision and Golden Valley Drive next door. A few years ago, my friend, Nancy Mueller, bought the ranch. Her son Jeff bought this original painting for her for Mother’s Day 2020. Isn’t that sweet of him? These are her animals, from a photo I took Summer of 2019.
