Ridgway's Lone Pine Ranch celebrates its centennial this year. The ranch got its start in 1891, when John Kettle purchased 160 acres of farmland in Ouray County just west of Ridgway. John's son, William R. Kettle, who was just 6 years old when his dad purchased the ranch, added to it in 1917 by homesteading an additional 400 acres of pasture at the foot of Mt. Sneffles. William's daughter, Faye, along with her husband, Davis Wolford, now own and operate the ranch.
