	George W Bush's Prairie Chapel Ranch -- Sightseeing with Google Satellite Maps
		According to Merriam Webster, a ranch is 1 : a large farm for raising horses, beef cattle, or sheep 2 : a farm or area devoted to a particular specialty.
		Prairie Chapel is a historical name for the area where the President's property is located.
		But I thought the other "ranch" was used for herding young boys....so it should still be called a ranch.

		During construction George and Laura occupied an old ranch house on the southern extension of Rainey Rd. (on the east side of the extension), calling it the "Governor's House." This house is still used as a guest house for White House neoconservatives and other second-tier guests.
		This is the dude ranch where the president hopes to escape from his "poor little rich boy" East Coast heritage by assuming his droll affectations of the Marlboro Man. Natalie Maines (of the Dixie Chicks) needn't be ashamed the president is from Texas -- he isn't.

		The resulting single-story ranch house, which was built by members of a religious community from the nearby community of Elm Mott, is a paragon of environmental planning.
		Gatherings at the ranch, official and otherwise, tend to be quite informal, with suit and tie replaced by short-sleeved shirts and jeans.
