  1. I knew it was a Dude Ranch from the description, but I was surprised when they actually called it that. Now they are called something else, but I can't think what would describe it better! :-)

  7. This type of tourism was really popular at that time. There were few ways to get there. Looking back at how the railway served is interesting.

  8. Neat advertisement! I find it interesting to see what the ad writer considered the greatest parts of the camp to try to talk people into coming. These days if someone advertised a place as having electric lighting it would be...ah, almost funny! The Princess Grill and Pizzeria which I wrote a bit about in my last post was built in 1915 and still has a sign over the front door back from when air conditioning must have first come out, advertising that the restaurant is air conditioned. Today the big thing is free Wi-Fi! I wonder what the next attraction/comfort will be in 50 years!
