A History of the Star Dune Cowboy Plunge Pool
The Star Dune Cowboy Plunge Pool has a rich history that stretches back to the early days of the Star Dune Ranch. The cowboys who worked on the ranch would come back to the bunkhouse after a long day of work, hot and sweaty, dreaming of a way to cool off and wash away the dust and grime of the day.
One day, a cowboy named Rick had a brilliant idea. He had seen how the ranchers used stock tanks to water their cattle, and he thought it might make a perfect pool for the cowboys. They found a six-foot by two-foot stock tank and set it up near the bunkhouse.
It wasn’t much to look at, but the cowboy plunge pool quickly became a popular spot on the ranch. The cowboys would gather around the tank, cooling off in the cool, refreshing water, and telling stories about their adventures on the range.
Over time, the pool area was updated with sunshades, chaise lounges, and misters to keep the guests cool and comfortable, even on the hottest days. But the essence of the cowboy pool remained the same: a place to escape the heat and enjoy the simple pleasures of cooling off in the refreshing water.
Today, the cowboy pool stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early cowboys who worked the ranch. It’s a place where guests can experience the cowboy way of life, soak in the stock tank pool, and enjoy the rugged beauty of the desert landscape.
Now of course this history might be considered a bit of a tall tale by some, either way, the Cowboy Pool is a great place to relax.
