She continued to drive well into her 90's, at least from her home in Pine Mountain Lake to the Groveland Post Office.

At Pine Mountain Lake we are surrounded by thousands of acres of undeveloped land. It is forest, river canyon, brush and pasture.

The area I am referring to is east of Highway 49 to Yosemite, and bordered by the Tuolumne River to the north, and the Mariposa County line to the South.

The Federal government. Stanislaus National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management probably own about 90% of the land in this area (not even including Yosemite!). In addition to USA holdings, several large historic cattle ranches are in low-tax agricultural preserves, and the families aren’t selling. The notable exception to this was back in 1980 when the 1200-acre Graham Ranch was divided into 40 and 80-acre parcels. It is located on the ridge above the Tuolumne River canyon north of PML, and all of the parcels still have favorable tax treatment as agricultural preserves. Of these 21 parcels, 13 have residences on them.
