The historic El Rancho Hotel in downtown Gallup. It is right on the old Route 66 and became THE place for movie stars to stay when they were in town to make movies in the 1930s and 40s. The room have signs of the stars who had stayed there - Lucille Ball, Doris Day, John Wayne, Jack Benny, etc. It is sooo 1940s Old West - lobby with moose and deer heads, chairs made with cattle horns and wooden Indians standing in the door way.
Jack and Mary Jagt are retired from the work of trading in natural rubber (Jack) and Intensive Care Nursing (Mary). They love to travel in their RV - nicknamed the Merrie Yacht. Recently moved from the home they raised their family in to a condo in a smaller town, they now have fewer home responsibilities and hope to be on the road more often.
