At one time there was a discussion of one or two resorts that were like dude ranches. Does anyone know of a place like this as a timeshare where we can exchange?

Checkout the Villas at Flying L (II code FLY and FL1). We will be there in Nov 08. Exchanged a 1 BR at Ocean Pointe for 2 BR at Flying L. It's located 40 miles from San Antonio in Bandera, Texas. Bandera calls itself the "Cowboy Capital of the World".
There are no reviews in the TUG database for this resort. But it has a lot to offer, according to the web site. Have any Tuggers been to the Flying L?.

I've never been to the Flying L Dude Ranch, but I have been to Bandera many times. It is full of dude ranches and beautiful scenery. The river on the website is the Medina River which is perfect for tubing on a hot summer day. The river bank and river bed has a lot of dinosaur tracks, so it has been popular with visitors for millions of years! In the fall be sure to check out Lost Maples State Park, a short drive away. It has great hikes and probably the only fall color in the state!
Bandera, itself, is a very good example of an old Texas town. If you are there on a Friday night during football season, try to go to the local high school football game - the entire town will be there! After the game, everyone goes to the local dance hall for some Texas Two Step. And I mean everyone, even tiny babies and young children are on the dance floor with their parents. Many of the dude ranches in the area will also have dances on the weekend, but for local color the ones that the town people go to can't be beat.
Have fun!
Let me know if you have any other questions!

nonutrix - Thank you for the information about Bandera. We'll be there in November 08, so we'll look for a football game. Here in NJ, our HS football season runs thru Thanksgiving, followed by play-offs and conference games. Hope the season is the same in Texas.

I have read good reviews, but have not been there.
Wow, I can't believe there really is someone out there looking for the same thing as I am...........I've wanted to go to a dude ranch forever, and can't find one either. Seems a remember there being one in Arizona too, but if I recall, didn't have very good reviews and really didn't offer much. Guess we'll have to keep looking.......................
