Guests at 12,300 Feet A group of Mountain View Ranch
guests at 12,300 feet take a rest for a photograph. Matie Viles
was often in photos of guests and went on rides with them. Matie
is the first lady standing on the left. Matie, like Skipper,
lived all of her life in the mountains. She was born near Mora,
New Mexico, which is on the east side of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains
and north of Las Vegas, New Mexico. |

Dr. Louis P. H. Bahrenburg and his wife, Elizabeth, were early visitors
to the upper Pecos. They stayed at Valley Ranch, making friends
with Susan and Alan Yallalee. After 1917, they were frequent
guests at Mountain View Ranch. Dr. Bahrenburg was a physician in
the United States Medical Corps. His career was long and
distinguished. Among other duties, he was the supervising doctor
at Ellis Island during the flood tide of immigrants, was attached to
several American consulates in Europe and retired as a Colonel and
commandant of the Marine Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio.
(The reference to "Beatty's" in Skipper's diary is to an old prospector's cabin at the headwaters of the Pecos River.) |
