This is the CM Ranch Guest Book from about 1933 - 1952. It was badly water damaged when Charlie and Marion Moore were living in Palm Springs after they left the ranch, but one of our employees from 2007, Kate Ensor, typed it up as best she could. It's long - scroll down, you might recognize a name or two.

This book is present to the
CM Ranch
by~
Mrs. W. H. Sayre
Of Essex Fells, N.J.
April 5th 1930
Having just completed this book, I claim the privilege of being the first to sign. Additional modifications are that Charlie Moore and I be of one blood; that I was at the old ranch first in 1910; that I was with him last in 1928; and that I have helped to build a very small part of the CM to commemorate the happy hunting days there.

“We rode with Marion along the ridge-
high above the ranch.
Where to the south lay blue Torrey Lake
and to the west the marks of Avalanche.
Toward the distant Crest of Togwotee Pass,
was the canyon of Simpson Lake
And to the North the painted cliffs
While the Absaroka’s our imagination take.
Below the sun bathed green grassed place
Where Marion and Charley call home-
Nestled among the folding hills
Where Mommie and her offspring roam!
Blessed by stranger or the friend
Who walk within these gates-
And shares the wealth of friendship
And of their hospitality takes.
And on these acres –where peace abides
Among lodge pole pave and Wyoming sod.
In this War-torn world –here is quietude.
Where one can be closer to one’s God.
Gratefully and with
Affectionate regards

Thank you to Charlie, Jimmie and Marion –

Where there’s always good eating
And marvelous sleeping!
And swell fishing with bent pin and line…

September 1943
God knows why it has taken me fifteen years to arrive in this fresh and incredibly beautiful country. We have never spent a vacation so complete with happiness, - every moment doing things one really loves to do. A thousand thanks to Marion, Jim & Charlie for their meticulous care and thoughtfulness in planning a whole summer’s visit for a single week. You could better appreciate our gratitude had you lived this full year in Pensacola. Once again, our appreciation.-

Of Essex Fells, N.J.
April 5th 1930
Having just completed this book, I claim the privilege of being the first to sign. Additional modifications are that Charlie Moore and I be of one blood; that I was at the old ranch first in 1910; that I was with him last in 1928; and that I have helped to build a very small part of the CM to commemorate the happy hunting days there.

“We rode with Marion along the ridge-
high above the ranch.
Where to the south lay blue Torrey Lake
and to the west the marks of Avalanche.
Toward the distant Crest of Togwotee Pass,
was the canyon of Simpson Lake
And to the North the painted cliffs
While the Absaroka’s our imagination take.
Below the sun bathed green grassed place
Where Marion and Charley call home-
Nestled among the folding hills
Where Mommie and her offspring roam!
Blessed by stranger or the friend
Who walk within these gates-
And shares the wealth of friendship
And of their hospitality takes.
And on these acres –where peace abides
Among lodge pole pave and Wyoming sod.
In this War-torn world –here is quietude.
Where one can be closer to one’s God.
Gratefully and with
Affectionate regards

And marvelous sleeping!
And swell fishing with bent pin and line…

September 1943
God knows why it has taken me fifteen years to arrive in this fresh and incredibly beautiful country. We have never spent a vacation so complete with happiness, - every moment doing things one really loves to do. A thousand thanks to Marion, Jim & Charlie for their meticulous care and thoughtfulness in planning a whole summer’s visit for a single week. You could better appreciate our gratitude had you lived this full year in Pensacola. Once again, our appreciation.-
