Taylor Ranch Log Book, March 2004-December 2005 Item Info
Summary
This Taylor Ranch log book accounts for numerous changes and shifts the cabin undergoes to update it. The Akensons continue working with a wide variety of interns.

Parting Words of Temporary Caretaker, 2004-12-01
A temporary caretaker (Earl) reflects on the time they spent in Jim and Holly's absence. "All these things I will always hold deep in my heart. I've loved every minute of it! I always said I was born 100 years to late. Then again maybe my spirit was here then! Thanks for everything. Earl (Bobcat)" [page 120 - 121]
