The Atkins

Atkinville and The Top Hat Atkin Ranch

We had the best day with Ralph, Jerry and Kelly Atkin. Our first stop was the original location of Atkinville which is now Sun River Golf Course, then it was off to the Top Hat Atkin Ranch out toward Mt Trumball. One day was not enough for the sites and the stories. We look forward to a second trip. We learned much and had a great time. Thank you to the Atkin men for their time.
