My Mama and Pa owned and operated a deer hunting camp, pack outfit, and guest ranch in the beautiful Ruby Mountains of northeastern Nevada. Mama did all the cooking for everybody. Our family and guests all ate meals together family-style in a big rock-walled room that had been one of the original pioneer homes in the valley. The rest of our house was attached to that room later, but even our house was very old.
