Mountain Ranch Life Quietly Sustains a Remote Hamlet
In Mountain Ranch California a 75 person hamlet clings to serenity as Phil Alberts owns the general store and gathers memorabilia. He and his wife raised three children while rebuilding a business after buying the stock and properties from Attilio Domenghini. They live simply, plan a centennial observance, and stage muzzle loading shoots and parades to keep the town alive.
