Great back story, thanks for taking the time to share the details - always enjoy hearing about how they were preserved, as there aren't many out there.

Sounds like this one could've met its fate several different ways after the original owner.

Wow awesome story! I bet it did take LOTS of cash! Especially after changing hands a few times. I bet that rancher bought it for a steal then then the price jumped from then on.
