Wentz Wild Life Sanctuary
Lewis Haines Wentz (November 10, 1877 – June 9, 1949) was an American oil businessman and philanthropist.
In addition to his sincere love of people, he showed a great interest in birds and animals. Fond of wildlife, he developed a wild game sanctuary near the north end of Lake Ponca as part of his 2000 acre Rock Cliff Ranch which was one of the show places of the West . There he had one of the best private collections of ornamental pheasants in the United States, a herd of sika or Japanese wild deer, thirty-seven White Fallow deer, and about one hundred fifty white-tail deer, droves of snow geese, flocks of wild turkeys of the breed used at the first Thanksgiving party of the Pilgrims, a flock of Arizona wild turkeys, and some of the finest purebred saddle horses and registered Shetland ponies in the country, his ponies came straight from the Shetland Islands. Mr. Wentz's favorite recreation was a walk on his farm. He went there every Sunday and spent hours among the herds and flocks. He gave the fawns the bottle, filled water troughs that had run dry, fed the deer alfalfa, and called the dainty creatures by name.
Cache is an easy P&G. The shoulders are wide here, but there is a drive to pull into just east of the cache.
