King of the Hill

King of the Hill
"Peacock posing on a picnic table" (it mostly alliterates!). Tule Springs (now Floyd Lamb) County Park, at the northwest edge of Las Vegas, Nevada. Tule Springs, named (yes) for a local spring--of disproportionate importance in this area!--started as a working ranch, then morphed into a "wannabe divorcee dude ranch," which it remained until (IIRC) the early 60s or so. In the early-mid 20th century, Nevada's lenient (by the standards of the time) divorce laws led to a whole cottage industry of dude ranches targeted at people who needed to establish Nevada residency to get their divorce. These places went away as other states liberalized their divorce laws.
