26 Bar Ranch (John Wayne Ranch)
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
Oh, sis, you really captured those places as I remember them!
ReplyDeleteHot dogs? If they sold chili-dogs they might still be in business. *wink*
ReplyDeleteThanks Sis! That place was interesting.
ReplyDeleteYep Barry, chili dogs would have made the difference, lol.
Both sad and intriguing to see these pictures. I wonder what restaurant it was.
ReplyDeleteI too blame the hot dogs. You can buy those at the grocery store for $1, come on!
I love the Hot Dogs sign painted on the brick. I wonder if they advertised other foods on there as well.
ReplyDeleteBeer, I know, those damn wieners!
ReplyDeleteVivienne, the only sign we saw on the walls was "hot dogs". It must have been their main course....lol
