hi there, I have a question for you that I am hoping that you can answer! About 25 years ago I worked at a Guest Ranch in Divide, Colorado that was literally right off the road. I can't remember the name of that ranch and it's been driving me crazy! I have looked through many historical pictures to see if I can find it but have not been able to. since I don't live in the area it would be a very long drive to discover it once again but if I saw it I would definitely know. It was run by a very small family back then, they had rabbits that they raised to eat for themselves and about 60 horses. They had 300 acres that we rounded up the horses on every morning about 4: 30 a. m. The terrain was mountainous, however there was a plane area that paralleled the freeway that we took the guests on before we headed up the hill into the Aspen. I don't know if this sounds familiar to you at all but I figure since you are a historical society that maybe you would know what I am talking about? I know it's a very strange question and honestly I don't even have a major reason as to why I want to remember other than the fact that I have spent a lot of time on other ranches and it came up in conversation today and I could not remember the name of it and the Cowboys I am with would love to know which one I am talking about. again it was in the late 1980s so I'm not sure if it still exist. I can say though that the horse that I rode all the time when I took the guest up the trail was a Mustang white and brown, and his name was Sheikh. there also was a large buckskin gelding that I rode that belong to the owner. anyway thanks for listening if you have any information for me that would be wonderful I really appreciate it.
