Mountain Center rancher fears taxes and crowds
Jim Wellman, 73, a longtime San Bernardino Mountains rancher, warns that taxes and growing crowds threaten land, wildlife, and solitude. He cherishes his 32,000 acres, recites his brand 101, and praises game wardens while lamenting tax waste and progress encroachment on his rugged hillside home. He and granddaughter Ruthie Jaenke keep to the remote bunkhouse and range, hunting and living by old values.
