It's in Wasco. The ranch is a 4th generation wheat farm and 3rd generation performance Arabian ranch. My two best endurance geldings are from the Van Gilder ranch and both my mares are Van Gilder related. I've been there in the past when wheat fires were going on in other areas. They start and run like crazy with the gorge winds. Extremely difficult to stop if there is dry wheat fuel. The barn was an historic marker and still in (well, was) excellent condition.
