We were trekking south on HCO when a young man on a classic tractor rode up with bottles of Gatorade for us! Jason Temoke tells expedition leader, Lee Bergthold, about his tractor. He works the Temoke Ranch, founded in the 1870's, with his father, Frank, and a brother. Frank invited us to camp in a vacant pasture and use old hay to soften our tent floors. Jason, led by his dog, right, heads out to fix the pasture for us.
