An easy walk, mostly on gravel tread from the pavement.
The Old Juniper has seen a lot since the sod was busted for pinto beans about 1901. Okies and Texans homesteaded here. This parcel was claimed in the early 1920s by the Kendrick family. They built their first home, and dugout, to the northwest where today you see a dutch-roof home. The land was small dairy operation during WWII. Look to the northeast from the Old Juniper across the street and you can see a cut in the woods that marks the path of a Wyoming ATT telegraph line, as marked on a very old USGS topo. Look at the field due south on the hillside and you may notice an east-west road grade. That road appears on a 1903 map. The rail stop town of Venus, was two miles northeast of the Old Juniper. Read "Time of Harvest" by John Sinclair published in 1943 to learn about the people that settled this land.
