Hi,
I am a new user to this board. My wife and I are very lucky to to live in work in two locations that were frequented by the Duke during his lifetime.
In the summer, we live and work at Big Lake, Arizona, not too far from where John Wayne owned and operated a cattle ranch in Eagar, Arizona.Rick, the owner of the boat renatl concession at the lake, has stories and pictures of John Wayne fishing and camping at the lake.
In the winter we live and work at the Triangle T Guest Ranch, in Dragoon, Arizona. The place where John Wayne stayed during the filming of several movies which were filmed at the ranch and at other locations in Texas Canyon. He had his own cabin built on the ranch, and we have restored it. It is available for guests to stay in.
The first movie that we know of which was filmed here with the Duke was 'West of the Divide'.
Anyone with more information is welcome to contact me and help me to piece together more of the history of the ranch.(please)
