Immersed in the Hereford’s history in Eagar, AZ, sits the 26 Bar Ranch. It was first known as the Milky Way Ranch in the 1940’s with its big white show barn which housed many Hereford cattle. The barn is now a local landmark. In 1964 the ranch became the 26 Bar Ranch or John Wayne’s Ranch, who was one of the owners. Wayne, along with Ken Reafsnyder and Louis Johnson, his business partners, kept the ranch until John Wayne’s death in 1979 from lung and stomach cancer. Lately, I have heard rumors that Bigfoot has been seen near the ranch. I don’t know if that is true or not, but it would be worth checking out. John Wayne and Louis Johnson
Never got out of the airport. Maybe I'll stop over next time
ReplyDeleteI participated in one of those as the first mayor's wife. It was hilarious. An airplane overhead interrupted my speech and I looked up from beneath my bonnet and exclaimed, "what are those bird machines?" Hee hee (hey 6 years of acting made staying in character easy)
ReplyDeleteSucio; maybe next time you can spend more time here. There is lots to see.
ReplyDeleteSis; I wish I would have seen you in your bonnet. That must have been a hoot. I have to see what is going on to see if I can make it.
is this for real?
ReplyDeletecoolblogger; yes, I believe they do this every year but don't know how long it has been going on.
