The Reagan Ranch "Rancho del Cielo" in 4K

In the summer of 2017, we had the unique opportunity to visit Rancho del Cielo, Ronald and Nancy Reagan's 688-acre ranch located atop the Santa Ynez Mountain range northwest of Santa Barbara, California. Considered "The Western White House" during his presidency, it hosted dignitaries such as Mikhail Gorbachev and Queen Elizabeth II.
James particularly enjoyed Reagan's 1962 Jeep CJ-6, and the pair of "jackalopes" mounted on the wall, inside the house. While outside, we did see deer, but sadly, there were no jackalopes to be found (I'm told they hibernate in the summer).
Reagan's handiwork was everywhere to be seen. He laid the natural rock (sourced from the property) in the outside patio, the faux brick flooring inside the house, and the miles of wooden post fencing surrounding and weaving all throughout the property. He owned multiple chainsaws, and his tools were stored and displayed as he left them. Every tool had its own place and seemed quite worn and "fit" for ranch work.
It is notable that this is quite a humble place when you consider it belonged to a Hollywood movie star and the 40th President of the United States. Very reminiscent of anyone's grandparent's home and workshop in the country. We were told there were only two presidential seals on the property. One was easy to find. It was prominently displayed above the fireplace in the family section of the house. The second one didn't make itself known until we toured the tack barn. Check out the riding mower: "Lawn Mower 1!"
So many great stories from this place. My favorite was about how he refused to buy a new bed for the master bedroom as there were already two twin beds in there when they purchased the place. To save money, he "zip-tied" the twin beds together and put a footstool at the end of his side so his feet wouldn't hang over. A fitting story that explains the man, his ranch, and his philosophy toward life.

What a day! This place would be mountain bike heaven!
