I remember going to the Kemper Campbell Ranch with my family back in 1961. I was 6 y.o. then and my family was friends with Litta Belle Campbell. She was quite an amazing woman. She was an attorney back in the days when Los Angeles was still cowboy country and women didn't work, let alone become attorneys. She was a very strong person, intelligent with lots of wonderful stories to tell. She and my dad were quite good friends with huge respect for each other. I remember Celeste de Blasis, who became quite a well-known and successful writer. She wrote stories about history that were well-researched. Her stories were fiction, set against historical backgrounds. The ranch was beautiful and very historic, straight out of a western movie. So glad they have preserved it and it is still there and still owned by the family - it's a real treasure and piece of history. Thank you, California Travel Tips for making a video about this amazing ranch, it deserves to be remembered and is a real piece of California history.

I had lunch a time or two back when it was still a guest ranch, I remember some amazing brownies. I photographed Celeste for a couple of her early book covers, she was living in the main house. She introduced me to her parents as well and I was in their house which was behind the main house. I grew up in Apple Valley so it was great getting to visit the ranch and I visited a number of times bringing along friends to photograph around the ranch house. Celeste wrote a great book about growing up on the ranch in the 50's, Graveyard Peaches.

Love that area. I spend several summers at Roy and Dale’s Apple Valley Inn in the mid 60s.

I'm coming back with shorts! The long form videos were really time consuming and expensive to film with not much revenue coming back.
