The Reagan Ranch "Rancho del Cielo" in 4K

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

Purely for your enjoyment. Please refrain from any political commentary. Thank you. Note: Lately, I've had to remove comments (both pro and con) regarding Reagan, as they didn't comment on the subject of the video, but on his politics, or current political issues, or "Best/Worst president ever." This forum is to be considered as Reagan considered his ranch: An oasis from politics to restore the soul. It's rumored there are places on the net to discuss politics. Go there and fight your battles, then return to enjoy the peace and solitude of a beautiful place with people who wish to do the same. And, this is a family friendly channel so please mind the language.

[@francinesicard464]

Fully agree with you.

[@legalmexican]

Well stated.

[@ChillSensesASMR]

How do we get to visit? Is it open to the public?

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

@@ChillSensesASMR It was a private tour. My wife bid on, and won a charity auction prize that included the tour. It was offered by someone who had a connection with the Reagan Library or Ranch Center. We consider ourselves very lucky because at that time, the ranch was not open to the general public. You may want to contact the Reagan Ranch Center in Santa Barbara to see if things have changed with regard to tours. Thanks for visiting and God bless!

[@tonyajustice7727]

Ronald Reagan left office with the highest approval rating of any president in American history. He also won every state in the election except for one. Reagan was a good man. I'm glad he was loved. Great video. Thank you.

[@AgentPepsi1]

Ronald Reagan is my hero!! He was a man of many careers, who touched so many lives, with a bright vision. :)

[@larrypriser6413]

What a great President, we sure could use him now.

[@CarguyEd5150]

When you see this beautiful, small ranch, you see the simplicity and relaxed way way of life that Reagan loved. I can see why he stayed here as much as he could when in the WH. This is proof that you don't need a huge mansion and a fleet of fancy cars, just some beautiful nature around you and modest ranch to call home. I would be so happy here and to be able to explore your property on horseback and not see any neighbors around you.

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

Me too! Hopefully heaven will look something like this.

[@georgemccoy5028]

Thank you! RR was (and in my opinion still is) one of the greatest presidents for the reasons you state in your overview. He was like everyone's grandpa and just a plain down to Earth guy. This video was masterfully executed and the music was perfect!! What a cool way to see his ranch which most of us would never be able to do but through the eyes of your lens. Thank you again.

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

Thank you George! Very kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully some day, it will be available to anyone willing to make the trek. It was so much fun to record, edit, and choose the music. Experiences like this inspired me to learn basic editing (something I had no knowledge of prior the 2017). This visit was such a powerful experience that I didn't even dare edit it until I found the right music. I think it stayed on my computer unedited for close to a year because no music seemed right. I even tried themes from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" and other such westerns, but they all seemed too serious or corny. Then one day, this music came over my playlist and my mind went immediately to this ranch. So emotional, so optimistic, so western, so beautiful. Couldn't believe it was music I had in my library for so many years. I think it was worth the wait. Thanks again!

[@jamesevans9007]

While I couldn't disagree more with your opinion of Reagan, I do agree on the quality of this video and the appropriateness of the accompanying music. Both showcase the beauty of the property. Very well done.

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

@@jamesevans9007 Thank you for the kind words and the respectful disagreement. It is a pleasure to have you on the forum.

[@vandall1981]

It looks as if Nancy and Ron just walked out of the place. All of their belongings are still there...the ultimate time capsule. I suspect it was Nancy's grief that compelled her to sell the ranch along with their belongings all at once. It must have been too difficult for her to go there and sift through their life...to decide what would stay and what would go.

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

Yes, I think you're right. That, along with her sense of history and Reagan's legacy probably also motivated her. Besides, I think the Ranch was more Ronnie's "Thing" and I'm guessing the Bel Air home was more her "style" She probably had her most personal stuff at home and not at the ranch. Regardless, I'm happy that it is being preserved as is. Nancy was quoted as saying: "If you want to understand Ronald Reagan, then go to the Ranch." I agree wholeheartedly!

[@Jay-Zinn]

This is a modest home, with modest furnishings, yet tasteful and charming.

My company does the security of this estate. Very beautiful, very simplicit, nothing overly fancy just relaxing quiet and quite a ways away from population (always a good thing lol) What's cool is his estate is surrounded by country then you drive off property and on the other side of the bridge is the pacific ocean/Beach. He had it all without needing some crazy extravagance

[@retiredyeti5555]

For 3 years in the mid 60's, I lived and worked in Dixon, Illinois, where Reagan grew up and went to high school. At that time, he was still not into politics. There were all sorts of signage at places that he played and lived and worked. (Louella Parsons was also from Dixon.) I thoroughly enjoyed this video - thanks for sharing it with us. Quite apparent that the ranch was Ronnies baby - his touch is apparent everywhere.

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

@@elhijodelchupacabra Sorry, I don't know. What was pointed out however during the tour, is that there are no "politically" related photos, mementos etc. inside the house (other than the fireplace presidential seal). Everything was family related. This was the president's place to "escape" Washington. A true family getaway. Wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn they were his grandchildren.

[@fiesta142]

Very interesting, To browse the rooms of the homestead and see personal items and the stories they tell would be amazing and not a TV in sight but always a book close at hand has the hallmarks of a fulfilled and content life. In this age its thanks to people like you who can share what people in other countries like me would never be able to view Thank you

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

You are very welcome, and thanks for the kind words. I hope you're not too disappointed to find out that there was a TV in the family room in which our tour guide told us that he and Nancy liked to watch Jeopardy and "Murder She Wrote." There was plenty of reading and in Ron's case lots of writing as well.

[@wally1452]

Thanks for posting this. Reagan was (I truly believe) one of a most kind and good man. After FDR I see two exceptional leaders in 20th century, Reagan and JFK. No politics here...I agree with your policy on this video...only wanted to say we will never see the likes of such affable and good men who cared for the common man. A beautiful video here.

It seems so empty without Mr. and Mrs. Reagan there. I dont know why but it just made me sort of sad that they werent there after all the clips ive watched of Ronald and Nancy being there.

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

I understand how you might feel while watching, but don't feel sad. To be there is to experience a unique joy. Everywhere you go up there, there are many many things that bring them to life. It has been left such that you feel they've just stepped out (or had to run back to the White House to sign a bill or something) and will be back soon. Even Nancy's robe is hanging just inside the closet so when she gets back, she can put it on and go watch "Murder She Wrote" with "Ronnie" in the family room. Rather than empty, it is filled with memories, mementos, stories, and Reagan's optimism. We should all be so fortunate to leave such a legacy when we're gone. God Bless!

Thank you so much for your video, I love the music as well, will have to download it. BUT you had me in tears at the end of your post with Psalm 121, love that Psalm. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you and your family

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

Thank you for the kind words, and we're so glad you enjoyed it. You may already know that the Psalm 121 verse is carved on a rock at the edge of Ranch property that Reagan called the "Psalm 121 Lookout." A favorite spot of his. The last photograph in the video (where you see the verse written on the screen) was taken there. We always strive to end our videos with wisdom from the bible, but as much as I would like to take credit for choosing this verse, the Gipper already had the perfect one. And were so glad he did. God bless you as well, and thanks for visiting.

This is so remarkable video. Thanks for sharing. So much love our "dutch" 😢😢

Thanks and you're welcome! That day we learned he got his nickname "Dutch" from his dad when as a kid he got a "Dutch Boy" haircut.

Nice video of a beautiful, peaceful place, even though I am not a Reagan fan. And the little dude in this video is so cute with his fedora and shades.

[@SonsofThunderRolling]

Glad you enjoyed it. No need to be a Reagan fan to enjoy the ranch, its energy, and its historical significance. Thanks for the nice comments. It's a pleasure to have you on the forum. BTW, the "little dude" still loves his hats 🤠🎩🎓👒👲

It’s remarkable how simply they lived here. Two Hollywood starts and former President.
