This is the weekend that el Gavo and la Gavette will be united in the bonds of holy matrimony. Matier & Ross have the complete run down here.
Who cares?
Paparazzi maybe.
But then again, the average Bay Area denizen might hunger for more information than M&R have provided.
Like, for example, where the heck is the Bitterroot Springs Ranch?
For starters, it’s located at 110 East Bell Crossing, Stevensville, Montana, which is south of Missoula. That means la Gavette and I are connected. My mother lived in Missoula when she was young.
How did I happen upon the address? Like all Narrative Journalists, I have secret sources. In this case, the Internet.
A little Googling turned up a web page with a good deal of specific information on it, including the names of the owners, Ken and Judy Siebel, and the name of the ranch’s Breeding Manager.
If you aren’t familiar with Western ranch lingo, Breeding Manager is a well-respected and highly-paid job classification.
But that single web page doesn’t tell the whole story about the ranch. A click away and you’ll find rich illustrations of the ranch and it’s star performing horses. Apparently, the ranch is primarily a horse breeding ranch.
Further research turned up this map in case you want to arrange a helicopter flyover.
But all of this is irrelevant minutia. Sponge Bob SquarePants calls.
What a great blog..
Thank you guy..

i love that it’s at a horse breeding ranch. awesome.
Hey, Brock, thanks for the comment. I thought the horse breeding connection was right on. I thought “Breeding Manager” might be an appropriate retirement job for Gavo.
