As a young corporate dink I was stuck in a great job that could last a lifetime if I wanted it. Always the entrepreneur, my corporate lethargy was shocked into reality by many of the things Ron Reagan had done and said in California and then as President.<\/p>\n<p>I have taken many trips the the Reagan Library in Simi California. Each was unique and one even included a surprise birthday party Wendy planned for me on the celebration of Ron Reagan&#8217;s 99th birthday. \u00a0This year, I received a very special birthday gift from our friends Tina and Dennis. \u00a0Their surprise? \u00a0 A personal tour of Ron and Nancy Reagan&#8217;s Rancho Del Cielo which roughly translates to Ranch of Heaven.<\/p>\n<p>This article could be the length of a book. \u00a0There were so many interesting experiences and subsequently a big photo assignment for me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/the-assignment-at-the-reagan-ranch\/reagan_tina\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2089\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2089\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"reagan_tina\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/reagan_tina-300x199.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/reagan_tina-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/reagan_tina-150x99.png 150w, https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/reagan_tina.png 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>We were in Malibu in March. \u00a0Tina and Dennis said to come to their home and we would drive together to Santa Barbara. \u00a0We arrived at the new Reagan Ranch Center which is in a renovated hotel next to the Amtrak station in Santa Barbara, California. \u00a0When we arrived, we were greeted by one of the directors and it was then that I learned that we were going to have a private tour of the ranch. \u00a0Our guide, Jason, packed us into a Suburban and we began our trip to the ranch which ironically overlooks where we stay in Goleta. \u00a0We ran up the freeway and just past Ocean Mesa, We turned inland on\u00a0Refugio\u00a0Road and headed straight up the mountain. \u00a0Winding back and forth we would catch glimpses of the ocean and the channel island now below us. \u00a0Near the top of the 3000 foot mountain we turn and stop at a gate. \u00a0Jason jumped out and\u00a0unlocked\u00a0our way in. \u00a0 A short distance was another gate that was open and we dropped down into this green bowl pasture with a small white house with a red tile roof. \u00a0 We had arrived.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/the-assignment-at-the-reagan-ranch\/reagan_root_159\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2090\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-2090\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Reagan_Root_159\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_159.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_159.png 600w, https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_159-150x82.png 150w, https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_159-300x164.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a>The simplicity and beauty were overwhelming. \u00a0This was the famous western White House that Ron Reagan had spent nearly a year of his 8 years as president. \u00a0On and off over his two terms, he would visit and be visited by heads of state that included the Queen of England,\u00a0Margaret\u00a0Thatcher and even Mikhail\u00a0Gorbachev\u00a0the Russian president. \u00a0Now we were visiting this humble place that was Ron Reagan&#8217;s favorite place to be.<\/p>\n<p>Jason told story after story as we walked through the interior rooms, the horse stable and the Secret Service\u00a0barracks. \u00a0All in there\u00a0original\u00a0state. \u00a0Not restored, original! \u00a0Just the way they were left when Reagan was president.<\/p>\n<p>No interior pictures we were told by Jason. \u00a0Tina and I had expected this. \u00a0Tina is not only a great friend, but she is also a great photographer. \u00a0Shooting a technique called HDR, Tina and I have been in some interesting places shooting pictures and this was yet another. \u00a0So, we did take the opportunity to grab some shots of the outside as Jason told stories.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/the-assignment-at-the-reagan-ranch\/reagan_root_185\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2093\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2093\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Reagan_Root_185\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_185-300x199.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_185-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_185-150x99.png 150w, https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_185.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Then it was lunch time and Jason drove us to the Secret Service quarters and main facility at the ranch. \u00a0It was functional and everything was right out of the 80&#8217;s. \u00a0 Jason had brought lunch and we sat around the kitchen table eating and telling sories of our own Ron Reagan experiences. \u00a0It was sort of unreal and we all had interesting insights. \u00a0This began to create an interesting bond between the five of us.<\/p>\n<p>Then it was onto the riding barn that was Ron Reagan&#8217;s\u00a0favorite\u00a0place. \u00a0As a young soldier, he was in the US Cavalry. He was an accomplished horseman and the tack room was amazing. \u00a0Jason in a momentary lapse of reasoning allowed me to shoot some pictures in the tack room. \u00a0This would become the beginning of my interesting assignment.<\/p>\n<p>The day was ending and I had a few shots in the camera as we headed back down the mountain. \u00a0It was hard to realize that I had spent time here which is not open to the public. \u00a0The ranch was purchased from Nancy Reagan a short time ago by the Young America&#8217;s Foundation to preserve for history this western Whitehouse. \u00a0We returned to the Reagan Ranch Center, said goodbye to Jason and headed back toward Los Angeles. \u00a0Our trip back was full of candid conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Back in Malibu, I sat down and assembled some of the pictures I shot to see how they turned out. \u00a0HDR is an amazing technique and often has very dramatic results. \u00a0So, no surprise, two of the tack room images turned out great. \u00a0The next day, I emailed them off to Jason as a sort of thank you for his time and my great birthday adventure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/the-assignment-at-the-reagan-ranch\/reagan_root_188\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2094\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2094 alignnone\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"Reagan_Root_188\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_188.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_188.png 600w, https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_188-150x107.png 150w, https:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/chill\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reagan_Root_188-300x215.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Just a few days later, I received a phone call on my cell. \u00a0I did not recognize the phone number, but I knew it was a Santa Barbara exchange. \u00a0So I answered and on the other end of the call was a woman who identified herself as Marilyn Fisher, the curator of the Reagan Ranch. \u00a0 She told me that she had seen the tack room pictures and wondered if I would be willing to shoot the interiors of the ranch home and &#8220;anything else I wanted to shoot.&#8221;
