Adele Von Ohl Parker, a daredevil stunt rider who had once starred in Buffalo Bill's shows, was stranded during the Depression and started a riding school, where her flamboyance captivated her young riders. Her 34-building ranch was the scene of many rodeos and Wild West shows, and visiting friends included Gene Autry and a circus owner whose elephants bathed in the Rocky River. This 37-year fantasy vanished forever upon her death in 1969.
