Pine Creek Ranch – NV. Great Ranches of the West

Share

“Decades later, several days’ ride north of Widow Smith’s place, 14-year-old Wayne Hage was fed up with mandatory church attendance enforced by his mother. One night he finally spelled out his good-byes on a piece of paper and ran away from home, dreaming of an adventurous cowboy life. He didn’t run too far, however, and soon signed on as a cowhand at his uncle’s ranch. Within a few years Wayne became a buckaroo at the PX Ranch, the Nevada spread that Bing Crosby bought so his three boys would learn the value of hard work far from the Hollywood lights. Here, Wayne honed his skills before joining the Air Force. After a tour of duty, he enrolled in college and graduate school at the University of Nevada-Reno. With a masters degree in organic chemistry, Wayne finally returned to ranching.”
