Red Ryder was a comic book, t.v. and movie western hero of the Forties and Fifties. He and his trusty side-kick, Little Beaver, battled bad men with pistol, rifle, lasso and fists. Today most people remember him because of his tie-in with Daisy bb-guns, “official Red Ryder carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time" was the object of lust of Ralphie in the movie classic A Christmas Story ( You'll put your eye out).
Fred Harman created Red Ryder and he lived half the year in Pagosa Springs, CO and half the year in Albuquerque. In 1961 he opened a western theme-park in Albuquerque named Little Beavertown. It lasted 3 years. http://econtent.unm.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/Beaver
Today the area is part of Albuquerque Open Space.
It was planted at the 14th Arizona Letterboxing Gathering at Kentucky Camp, AZ before moving to Little Beaver Town.
From the intersection of I-25 and I-40 in Albuquerque, head east on I-40 to the Tramway exit. Turn right at Tramway and get over to the left turn lane. Turn left on Central and proceed east through a couple of lights passed the Believers' Center on the right. After Carmellia Street is open space. Watch to the right and you'll see a couple of open space signs--pull in at the second one by the gate.
Through the gate appear two large elms 100 feet to the south. The left elm has a rock ledge off to its left that a dirt track goes up and over. Even further south are the flat remnants of the floor for the old saloon and western town. Amazing how fast our works decay without maintenance. Standing on that floor facing south...
tool eft doved us trow owed underwear nor thorn mowst steal bocks a bye ides Of course we all know that an eft is a small salamander and that bocks is a rich dark beer usually sold in spring and ides is the old Roman method of dividing a month.
Happy hunting.
