The Grounds of the Walking Box Ranch are a treasure trove of history, especially of ranching in southern Nevada. One of the caretaker's daily responsibilities is to ensure that the grounds have not been disturbed and that the perimeter fencing is intact. The area currently is owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and managed by Friends of Avi Kwa Ame. The area is watched by a caretaker, and three law enforcement officers live on-site in travel trailers. The site is available for researchers and occasional tours, but otherwise it is closed to the public. |
