The picturesque old ranch of Charles and Kathleen Eek on the Rock Creek-Bridesville Road, in the spring of 2005. This is a well-known local family and much information will be added henceforth.
Note from Rod Gould: My son and I are pasturing some horses at the old Charlie Eek ranch on Rock Mountain. It truly is a lovely place, particularly with the slough just west of the house. It's sad to see it falling into disrepair. Charlie Eek died years ago, and it seems to me that old Johnny Eek has died as well.Ê Dale and Duane Eek, of the next generation, live in the Kettle Valley and run Freeman's Farm Supply there.
Correction from Wolfgang Schmidt: Johnny Eek hasn't died yet. Matter of fact, he recently got a book
published with his Cowboy Poetry.Note from Michael Hollin: regarding the eek ranch painting on the rock creek bridesville road....i used to work up that road and drove past the ranch 5
days a week....i am a timber framer by trade and have taken photos ofthe barn there...it's a traditional timber frame apparently built by a scotsman at the turn of last century....he apparently built others in the area one of which is near the house you've painted of the ranchnear anarchist summit....just thought i'd add some info to your excellent site....
