Joe and Abigail Sawyer married at a young age. They purchased land north of the Grizzlies Eye Mountain and south of the Grizzlies Back Falls with money they inherited, and turned a rundown old barn found hidden among tall brush, weeds and trees into a home. With a handful of good stock beef cattle and four horses. The land became known as Shimmering Meadow Ranch where Joe and Abigail started a family. Life flies by quickly when dreams are fulfilled and life is going just the way they planned, or so they thought.
