El Rancho de Tiempo Bandito

(The Time Bandit Ranch)

This is the place for relaxation and some fun activites. The ranch got its name because you feel like your stealing time. Its getting away from the very busy Silicon Valley, the ranch is a place to kick-back, ride 4 wheelers, ride horses, target shoot rifles and guns, do some bird or deer hunting, and do some good old fashion ranching.

The ranch is located in Alturas, California (30 miles south of the Oregon border and 30 miles west of the Nevada border). Its a beautiful six hour drive, but you only want to drive up when its absolutely necessary (like transporting horses). Luckly we have a single engine airplane which gets us up to the ranch in an one hour and forty mintues. Once our guests make the drive, they are happy to fly up with us.

Alturas is "Where the West Still Lives" - This article will give you an idea of where and what Alturas is all about. And if your really interested in Alturas, read the local newspaper "The Record".

Press the go button to hear a short sample of "Wand'rin Star" by Lee Marvin. This song reminds me of the ranch on a clear night....you can see thousands of bright stars. Can you guess what movie this is from? Email me your guess.

The ranch consist of 500 acres, the house is decorated to take your thoughts to the beautiful waters of Kauai and the excitment of being in Africa. There are also two 4x4 wheelers and horses to take on trail rides. The ranch is adjacent to BLM property, so if you want to take a long trail ride on either on a horse or on a 4 wheeler you can ride for miles on beautiful forrest trails without running into a paved road.

This is a picture of the house, so you'll have an idea, its not a very good picture wrong time of the year.

Here is a picture of my 3 horses taken July 2003.

Chiquita and her 2 sons, Capitan (the tall one)is 2 years old and Caliente is 2 months old.
