It's the gentleman's private property, which he is happy to share with us and he has never asked for compensation. Best I can describe him is as a cowboy gentleman - he doesn't bring up politics unless someone else starts something. For years he has opened his property to Cino and he has never judged us, so I kindly asked participants at the pre-ride sermon to do the same and they obliged. He was at lunch greeting people and we all had a fantastic time.

That's all I'd like to be said about that. Politics belong in the politics forum, not here.
