Geocache Description:


Eight Hundred ThirtyFirst in the Famous People (FP) Series - Guy Waggoner


Guy Waggoner (1883-1950) is an American rancher and business executive.

Guy Waggoner was born on September 21, 1883. His father, William Thomas Waggoner, was the owner of the Waggoner Ranch in Texas. His mother was Ella (Halsell) Waggoner. He had a brother, E. Paul Waggoner and a sister, Electra Waggoner. They grew up at the Waggoner Mansion (a.k.a 'El Castile') in Decatur as well as on the Waggoner Ranch.

He inherited one fourth of the Waggoner Ranch. While living on the ranch, he served as Chairman of the Texas Racing Commission.

The ranch is located west of Wichita Falls, Texas, south of Vernon, near the Red River. It spans 520,000 acres of land. As a result, it is the second largest ranch in Texas after the King Ranch. It spans six counties and is half as large as Rhode Island.

It is the largest ranch under one fence in the United States.

If you listen, you can probably hear Guy's mother hollering at him to quit climbing that tree. "Get down Guy!". Then you would hear him slide up and down.

This cache was placed in conjunction with the drives/TeamOxford annual breakfast event Lazy Days of Winter.
