This truly interesting my husband Gene Miller and his father Ralph Miller were the ones that ran the chickens and turkey’s in the 1950 and early 1960’s. They lived at Cusbenberry for years. Was an old stage stop. The small houses left are from the 1950’s we called them Secretary Shakes. M. Pen Philps are land developer sold 1 acre plots in the desert and people came from LA and built small houses so they could come to the desert but there was no water no electricity. We left Lucerne Valley in 1972 and moved to Idaho in a beautiful area called Kamaih. I am still here and so is my son and grandson. But lots of memories of Cusenberry Ranch Sincere Lynda Miller age 75
