Forest and Stream 
In the Heart of the Rockies 
The Elkhorn Ranch is located four miles from the northwest corner of the Yellow¬ 
stone Park and sixty miles from Bozeman, Montana. It is reached by an auto trail 
that follows the west branch of the Gallatan River. 
In the midst of the Scenic Wonders of the world, it is the ideal spot for those 
who love the great open spaces. There are wonderful trails for horseback riding, 
marvelous views for the mountain-climber—the best of trout and grayling fishing for 
the angler—great herds of elk and sheep for the photographer—trips to the Yellow¬ 
stone Park—a big round-up at Bozeman in August where you can see the top riders 
of the world and the tribal life of the Blackfeet Indians in all their native splendor. 
The Ranch House and guest cabins are substantial and scrupulously clean. Good 
springs and mattresses on the beds. The food is the best and there is plenty of it. 
There is a well-broken, sure-footed horse for every guest. The guides are old-time 
Westerners. The ranch will be open from June 1st to November 15th. A limited num¬ 
ber of men and women can be accommodated. References will be given and are expected 
from our prospective guests. Address until May 1st, for descriptive booklet—

more or less. Within the dinner period 
a favorable spot swings the car to the 
roadside and a good meal is prepared. 
This noonday meal is by far the most 
important of the day. A light breakfast, 
such as bread and milk, cup of coffee or 
cocoa and boiled eggs is enough. But 
the dinner at noon may well take up two 
hours or so. 
The point is that a broiled steak, vege¬ 
tables, dessert, a hot drink, soup, and 
other fixings can be worked over and 
lingered over, eaten and enjoyed. Per¬ 
haps two hours seem a long time to give 
to this meal. The time is not merely 
for eating, however. It is also for re¬ 
laxing, for recuperating from the morn¬ 
ing strain for the afternoon drive. 
Starting after this noon meal, which 
may begin at 11 or not till after 1 o’clock, 
the driver and travelers are well rested. 
In the summer months when it is not 
dark till nearly 9 o’clock at night, five 
or six hours of daylight still remain for 
rolling along. In the autumn, when the 
nightfall may come in three or four 
hours, there is no worry for fear the 
supper meal will be missed. The “big” 
noon meal does away with the need of 
more than a lunch, which may be pre¬ 
pared by spot or hand light. The fact 
is, we would sometimes drop into a res¬ 
taurant in the evening as we came to 
some town. The restaurant people would 
give information as to local camp 
grounds or road conditions beyond. 
In any event, having had a good meal 
and a good rest in midday, we could go 
on even for an hour or two after dark 
without inconvenience when making a 
summer or an autumnal journey. If 
perchance there was no good camping 
ground, and this condition may extend 
for fifty miles or so, it did not matter 
as we could drive on till a good ground 
was located, even after dark. 
Summer touring gives long hours of 
daylight. Autumn and winter means 
long nights. Touring generally means 
more or less night driving. This night 
driving can often be traced, doubtless, to 
slow starts in the morning, and long 
noon-day meals; but the equanimity and 
comfort gained in having the complete 
meal at least once a day, rather than 
snatched lunches, offsets the drawbacks. 
I think that confirmed tourists invariably 
seize upon the one square meal at what¬ 
ever cost in time or money. 
A car is handled better if during the 
long nooning a few grease cups are 
filled, oil squirted into the springs and 
the radiator filled, burrs tightened, etc. 
These little attentions, taking from a 
few minutes to an hour, are part of the 
driver’s job. While he works on the 
car, others prepare the meal. Nothing 
prevents trouble quite so thoroughly as 
constant supervision of the car, inside 
and out. Where two or three are driv¬ 
ing, spelling one another, the drivers all 
note this or that about the car which 
needs attending to. It does not pay to 
neglect anything, whether a softening 
tire or a broken spring leaf. The spare 
tire should always be kept pumped up 
ready for use. 
Where little children are among those 
touring, it is wqrth while to stop every 
hour or so at some fine shade tree be- 
in writing to Advertiseri mention Forest and Stream. It will identify you.
