    IS THE 25 BAR RANCH STILL A WORKING CATTLE RANCH ?
    :omg:
    BELOW WILL SHOW YOU THAT IT IS, BUT SADLY ALL OF THE "PURE BRED HEREFORD" CATTLE THAT JOHN WAYNE RAISED HERE IN THE OLD DAYS ARE NOW GONE, THANKS TO POOR MANAGEMENT OF THE RANCH BY "THE HOPI INDIANS" THAT NOW HAVE
    THE 26 BAR RANCH !!!

    ChiliBill,

    I am in the early stages of planning a family trip to Arizona the last week of March of next year. We'll be flying into Vegas and then doing a big circle around AZ for a week catching the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Petrified Forrest, then south to Tucson, up to Phoenix and then back to Vegas to fly out. I believe the trip south from the Painted Desert, Petrified Forrest puts me in your part of AZ. While my kids won't appreciate it much I would love to stop by. I'll try to get a day of the week nailed down when we get closer to the date.

    HERE IS PART TWO OF THE SLIDE SHOW TO "SPRINGERVILLE, EAGAR IN EASTERN ARIZONA AND THE HOME OF "THE 26 BAR RANCH" AND "DUKE" WOULD ALWAYS SAY THAT IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE U.S.A.
    :biggrin:
    IT STARTS OUT WITH A OLD PICTURE OF DUKE LEADING THE 4 TH. OF JULY PARADE IN ABOUT 1970, THEN PICTURES OF
    THE 26 BAR RANCH RANCH AND SOME OF CATTLE , COWBOYS AND COWGIRLS !!! (bud)

    HERE IS A STORY ABOUT OF THE OLD SOUTHWEST FROM THE HISTORY OF EARLY ARIZONA BELOW WHAT IS CALLED
    "MOGOLLON RIM" !
    (bud)
    THE STORY WAS DONE IN THE MID 1970s WITH THE HOPE THAT JOHN WAYNE AND BEN JOHNSON WOULD PLAY THE LEAD PARTS BUT IT WAS NOT TO BE, DUKE BECAME ILL, SO WHEN YOU WATCH THE VIDEO REMEMBER JOHN WAYNE WAS TO PLAY THE MAIN PART AND BEN JOHNSON PLAYING HIS SIDEKICK, AND WE STILL HAVE "THE FIRST STORY LINE AND SCRIPT" HERE AT THE RANCH !!
    :wink_smile:
    SO ALL THESE YEARS LATER WE DID A VIDEO USING OLD FILMS TO TELL THE STORY !!!
