From our old postcard collection we are going back to 1954 to have "Fun all the time" at the Paradise Ranch in Buffalo, Wyoming ...

| Postmark is strong but writing has faded so much we can't read all of it. |

| A good fence and some nice looking horses. These are called "real photo" postcards among collectors. |

| This one was not used. |
Paradise Ranch is still in operation ... check out their website here.
Linking up today with Good Fences ... thank you Tex!
Does the thought of a vacation at a guest ranch in the USA Rocky Mountains sound interesting to you?
Thanks for stopping by John's Island.
I like this photo postcard.. The ranch looks like a great place for a vacation..Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful ranch. I'm amazed it is still in operation and will definitely check it out! Have a great day.
ReplyDeletehow neat, love these old postcards!
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting time witnesses. I find such old postcards really great.
ReplyDeleteI come visiting you from Good Fences.
♥ly greetings from germany
Their new marketing is a little more dynamic, ain't it. My wife and I say often that we're moving to Wyoming when it is 95 degrees and 95 percent humidity here in Tampa.
ReplyDeleteSign me up, John....I'm ready to go! But wait until summer.
ReplyDeleteGreat old postcards. Love finding them and the history they bring. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Good Fences.
I like the idea of fun all the time. ;))
ReplyDeleteNo, John, I can't say this is something I would look forward to. Dude ranches don't appeal. Then again, there aren't any old women in the pictures, either! :-)
ReplyDeletehow cute. perfect dude ranch advertisement!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! Great Good Fences post.
ReplyDeleteI think my parents took me camping in the
ReplyDeleteBig Horns near there about that time...:)
What fun cards!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing these...wish I could read the writing on the back of the one.
ReplyDeleteTake me back to the days my daddy visited his own cowboy father! Fun to relate these photos to his old album!
ReplyDeleteThey sure had a lot of horses!
ReplyDeleteThe horses and the fence are beautiful. It looks like they sure do have a good time at the ranch,
ReplyDeleteWhat a "blast from the past" with these old postcards. The Ranch looks like a cool place and how neat that it is still in operation.
ReplyDeleteWhat great older postcards! Glad they are still in operation.
ReplyDeleteI love looking at old postcards and these fit well into to today's meme.
ReplyDelete1954! I wasn't even born yet. Love it!
ReplyDelete~
Oh this is real treat. For us today. Whoooo Hoot HOWDY
ReplyDeleteCow-gals and cowgirls and Good fences Thursday.
I enjoyed the photos from the postcard and am reminded of so many old Western shows and movies! Looks like a perfect place to see Roy Rogers and Dale!
ReplyDeleteOne of my uncles worked at a dude ranch--probably in the 50s, though I'm not sure when. The ranch work did him good, and he ended up as a sheriff and then judge before retiring. I'd enjoy giving ranching a try for a while just to see what it's like.
As usual, a very neat find! Thanks for sharing it with us!
They must be doing something right to still be in business after all these years. : ) To be honest, it is not my kind of vacation.
ReplyDeleteLove this, John....how fun.
ReplyDeleteWhen our son was little, we had friends that had a dude ranch in Colorado and we went there several times. My hubby loved every minute of it...I was always ready to get back home...scared of horses and bears...just a general cry baby. lol
Now those are some real fences!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic fences, John!
