The closest town, Farson, is 26 miles away. The ranch, whose first cabins served as a Pony Express remount station in 1860, was homesteaded in the 1890s and settled by French Basque immigrant John Arambel, the patriarch of the current owner, in 1909. The ranch, which runs about 5,000 head of sheep and 1,000 head of cattle, is (as of 2016) owned by Peter and Sue Arambel and run by their son, Lou Arambel, and his wife, Shelby.
