Radio Silence

Gettin' ready to wrangle some Dudes!

We’ve been a little slack in our postin’ the past couple of days. Thats because we’re getting ready for the Jolly Ranch / Dr. Sketchy’s / Trap\door traveling caravan planned for Sunday. A dude ranch has to be prepared to receive the tenderfoots and show ‘em a good time! So we hope you’ll stop by on Aug 29th at 11:00am to participate in the fun. We’ll have our historical drawing tour through the pass and then come back to the Jolly Ranch for the souvenir store, dude lessons, maybe a ghost story or three and some grub.

If you want to know a little more before you come out, be sure to catch Trap\door Radio, Thursday at 2pm on CKXU. If you can’t pick up the channel or don’t have a radio you can listen on-line too! http://www.ckxu.com The Dude and I were interviewed today by Magoo via skype.

I think we gave good radio.

Newest Ponies! Bonita and Alejandro

Fernando was lonely, so we ventured to Coleman today to purchase him some pony company. We were lucky to find the twins – Bonita and Alejandro! They are velvety soft!

Batchelor Gushul – Ghostly Feline Neighbour?

14 Aug

This cat used to live in the Writer's Cottage ca. 1908

This picture is from the Crowsnest Pass Art Gallery Gushul Hallway. The didactic signage labels the picture as Batchelors’ Cat (sic) and says that this Dapper Cat lived in the cottage adjacent to the Studio which eventually became an office for the photo studio. He’s an excellent model, dontcha think?

We were told by some visiting buckaroos that the cottage is haunted. (I might have known that when I opted to sleep in the big studio – sorry Dude!) The basement door prohibits visitors from venturing below the cottage. What could possibly lurk below?

It is my firm belief (without any research or evidence to the contrary) that our ghost is Batchelor, the Cat. Cats are considerably lazy and don’t particularly travel well, so it should be of no surprise that one is haunting the Jolly Ranch.
