Article Excerpt
Well, it took two years of cajoling but you finally talked your in-laws into leaving the peaceful flats of eastern Colorado for a long weekend at a Laramie, Wyo., dude ranch. Although you usually identify with visions of John Wayne clad in leather flying helmet and white, flowing scarf, this weekend conjures images of the Duke slugging it out with cattle rustlers complete with 10-gallon hat and trusty steed.

You may find that you feel less like the Duke and more like the Lone Ranger before this one is over. Answers on page 20.
