I met Roy Rogers when I managed a restaurant in Victorville, They were both great and the nicest people you could ever meet. He was my boyhood hero. May God bless them both. We need them today!
I was born in 1946. Roy, Dale and Trigger and Bullet were my hero's when I was a kid. They kept our whole family entertained on Saturday morning. In real life, they were awesome people RIP
I lived .6 miles away from Roy and Dale. I used to tell people...we're neighbors. Very quite people. Have a few wonderful stories of them. Two of the greatest people. The world needs more people like these two icons.
I've seen The Roy Rogers Show on Cable tv, what amazed me about Roy Rogers and Dale Evans is that they're stories were inspiring to kids and young cowfolks everywhere. Me and my grandpa loves Roy Rogers and Dale evans. Happy Trails to you, until we meet Again.
Took my mom to see Roy and,Dale's last appearance in 1995, with the Sons of the Pioneers in Tucson. They were AWESOME and it was the thrill of my life! They are sorely missed.
I grew up after their heyday in the 1960's, but watched everything I could find on TV. I loved Roy and Dale. How I wish there were still people like them in TV and movies today.
my all time favorite couple...they always blessed my life. To this day westerns are my favorite movie genre. Saddle up your horses, we got a trail to blaze, into the wild blue yonder with God's amazing grace. Let's follow our leader into the great unknown, life like no other...this is the great adventure!
Yep...the 1950's were the best days...simplistic family oriented and family neighbor get togethers. Loved Roy and Dale. Their show and also Sky King... The Flintstones and Jetsons... HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN! +♡+
I was born in 1934, and Roy Rogers was the love of my life. I simply adored him. I got goose-bumps every time I heard him sing. My 2nd cousin Jerry Amstrutz was just as much as fan as I was, and we loved getting together and sharing our newest 78 RPM records of Roy singing. I had more than one scrapbook filled with clippings and pictures of Roy Rogers and his family and movies
I used to watch Roy Rogers and Gene Autry on TV as a kid in the 50's. Believe both died the same year. A beautiful grave site....may they both rest in peace.
I was born in 1938. Roy &Trigger were very important to me and my sister. Our Dad took us to Indianapolis to see them in person. We never forgot it. His personna shaped many lives. Happy Trails to the King of the Cowboys.🤠❤❤
I loved Roy Rogers and Trigger growing up. Loved Dale Evan's too. Watched Roy Rogers TV show and movies. Son of Palehouse with Roy Rogers and Bob Hope was my favorite. Trigger done tricks and danced! Did you see Roy and Dale at The Indiana State Fair? Happy trails!
I was born in 1951, so I also grew up watching Roy Rogers and Dale Evans on my family's black and white TV. Like the lone Ranger and Zorro, Roy and Dale where our role models. Everybody knew that Roy's horse was called trigger, but I wonder how many people remember that Dale's horse was called Buttermilk. Every one of their shows ended with their theme song, Happy Trails. My entire family would join in and sing along. I'm now 71 years old and I still watch old episodes of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, the lone ranger, Zorro and so on and so on because magically I'm a kid once again, even if it's only for 30 minutes.
I have beautiful memories of Forest Home down the road from The Lodge at Mears Lake where Roy Rogers & Dale Evans used to preside over meetings, whatever it was they did I wasn't there but the vibe remained. She also spoke at our church, Hollywood First Presbyterian Church in Hollywood, California. I was a young girl and loved Forest Home and all this was tied up with my love of horses and the old west, shown to me by the movies they made. What a wonderful childhood gift they gave me. Rest in Peace, Roy & Dale. Blessings....
IN 1972, as a young Harris County Deputy Sheriff, I had the privilege and honor of riding with them in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Parade ~ HAPPY TRAILS ROY& DALE UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.......
I once cleaned their carpet when I had s carpet cleaning co. I introduced them to my father. He was so happy. Roy was one of his favorite characters when he was a child. Rest In Peace my friend.
I was born in 1944, spent my Saturdays glued to all the western. Johnny Mack Brown, Lash Larue. Roy and Gene. Those were they days. They always taught us to be upstanding citizens.
Roy Rogers' show on Saturday mornings was part and parcel of the Baby Boomers childhoods. Along with other Saturday morning fare (The Cisco Kid, Sky King, Tarzan, The Lone Ranger, etc.)), it was a pleasant interlude between school days and Sunday. I will never forgive myself for not visiting (they frequently met with visitors to their "museum") when I first moved to CA to tell them both how much that show meant at the time, singing "Happy Trails" at the end of each "and they all lived peacefully in law and order after" shows.
Always big Fans of them My Dad use to take me growing up to see their Rodeo every time Roy came to Madison Square Garden in NY May they RIP and are missed by all of their Fans etc.
Here in Ireland in the fifties the highlight of the week was going to see a Roy Rogers movie. I have a collection of Roy and Dale on DVD and enjoy showing them to my grand kids. We so enjoyed the matinees back then, along with Roy there was Gene, Hoppy, Rex and many more. They just don't make them like that any more. John from Ireland.
Thank you for the respectful quietude as you visited the gravesites. I appreciate that. And thank you for the video. My wife and I have passed through Apple Valley numerous times on I-15, to and from the LA area. Somehow, never the chance to stop. Again thanks.
Beautiful story about Roy and Dale their place is lovely. As a child I wanted to be Roy's and Dale's daughter like every other young girl growing up in the fifties. Thanks for sharing the video.
hi jack I avoid looking at the resting place of film /music stars but I could not ignore my childhood hero I' thank you sincerely for this great video. happy trails.
Steven Roland My uncle was a mason but not a Shriner or in the upper echelon . He was a baptist preacher and was for real. So I'm confused on the masons. What I've heard and what I've seen are two different things!
The Masons and Shriners are benevolent fraternal societies. All of the conspiracy theorists try to make them out to be something sinister. They are a group of men who got together for fellowship and do do good works.
They are one of a few little did they know helped me survive a very ugly abusive childhood wish I could of met them always wished they was my parents. Thank you for this video.
Dorothra I am so sorry you had an abusive childhood. I too suffered from some abuse as a kid. But I know others suffered a great deal more than I did. God Bless you.
My wife Birgie, and I, are praying for you. We relate to your pain of being abused. Having ideal, parental role models, is a powerful shaper of goodness. Happy trails to you Dorotha , until we meet again. Never give up!!!
What a sad story! Beautiful place too be laid too sleep he was wonderful at hiding his tears , I hope this place always continues to exist. Happy trails two of the most beautiful cow people rest easy .
I had a crush on. Roy. Rogers in fourth grade. His picture was on the cover of my tablet, also matinees on saturdays, oh the good good days of forties and fifties
Like a lot of us older adults, I grew up with people like this on our TV sets. I can't recall any of them from that time being involved in any scandals unlike quite a number of celebrities today seem to have.
Roy Roger back in the lates 80"s use to go to sunday breakfast at Jillys restraunt on highway 18 in apple valley I recall going with my grand father on sundays and would see roy arrive to eat there
If I wanted to be buried it would be there...I lived there....and met them...Happy Trails...The live horse is there for those who want a horse escort to their grave site...
I have also been to this site and it is very peaceful and quiet. It is a lovely place to just go and sit. Sadly, the Apple Valley, Hisperia area has "gone downhill" over the years since they first moved to the area. The Museum has also sadly been torn down and no longer exists.
I once attended a religious service in which Dale Evans Rogers spoke. My wife and I sat no more than ten feet away from her. I wish I had gotten her autograph.
I know @Hope King but the family tried hard with the museum in Victorville & it just could not generate enough interest to make ends meet. Later, the family did a museum in Branson and it could not make it there either. The family hated to but eventually did an auction where much was able to be shared with all of Roy and Dale’s fans. We miss this God-fearing marvelous couple. 💕💕💕🌷🌷
Thank you for the video. Roy Rogers was very popular in México too, I used to read his comics every week in the 50´s and of course saw his movies. One question, why are there three crosses in each tumb ?
Wedgenut Tanker, that was a silly question on my part, specially being a catholic, it´s just that here in méxico we use one cross only, thank you for your answer
The narration near the end about the house originally sitting on 67 acres is incorrect. The "67 acres" is a reference to Roy and Dale's ranch in Oro Grande, about a half-hour's drive north from the house. A lot of people confuse the two.
I met Roy Rogers when I managed a restaurant in Victorville, They were both great and the nicest people you could ever meet. He was my boyhood hero. May God bless them both. We need them today!

I was born in ‘46. We didn’t have a TV until I was 11. So I began enjoying watching them on TV in ‘57…..here in Ontario Canada.
I've seen The Roy Rogers Show on Cable tv, what amazed me about Roy Rogers and Dale Evans is that they're stories were inspiring to kids and young cowfolks everywhere. Me and my grandpa loves Roy Rogers and Dale evans. Happy Trails to you, until we meet Again.
RR Blessings
Took my mom to see Roy and,Dale's last appearance in 1995, with the Sons of the Pioneers in Tucson. They were AWESOME and it was the thrill of my life! They are sorely missed.
Lucky. Wish I’d been there.
I was born in 1951 so grew up with Roy Rogers and Dale Evens in their hey day. He was my hero, and he made a good one.
Same year as me,I feel the same!
I grew up after their heyday in the 1960's, but watched everything I could find on TV. I loved Roy and Dale. How I wish there were still people like them in TV and movies today.
There still are, but they are not noticed.
Every Saturday I would watch Roy Rogers on tv with Gabby Hayes.That America is gone forever.Only fond memories.
big fan back in the day every Saturday loved those days
When was Gabby on with Dale & Roy??? I thought it was Pat Brady, but that was later.
Coming again, in The Millennium.
my all time favorite couple...they always blessed my life. To this day westerns are my favorite movie genre. Saddle up your horses, we got a trail to blaze, into the wild blue yonder with God's amazing grace. Let's follow our leader into the great unknown, life like no other...this is the great adventure!
Loved the Roy Rogers show when I was a kid. It was hokey..clean enterment
Yep...the 1950's were the best days...simplistic family oriented and family neighbor get togethers. Loved Roy and Dale. Their show and also Sky King...
The Flintstones and Jetsons...

Never missed an episode growing up. Loved them!
Still watch them followed by The Lone Ranger on the cowboy channel. What memories they bring back to this 75 year young kid!!⭐⭐

Thank you. I always wanted to go and pay my respects but health issues won't allow me to. Your video is appreciated more than you know.

mickbrod1 Thank you
Jack McClendon Any idea what the 33, star on Roys grave stood for?
He was a 33rd Degree Mason
Steven Roland My uncle was a mason but not a Shriner or in the upper echelon . He was a baptist preacher and was for real. So I'm confused on the masons. What I've heard and what I've seen are two different things!

Really liked reading the Cowboy Prayer; thanks for posting

Thanks for a great video
Beautiful. Majestic. Divine.
Beautiful Grave site and Home.
Thank you for the video! Starting to learn more about Roy, being that he was my grandpa's uncle.
That’s wonderful!!!!
Like a lot of us older adults, I grew up with people like this on our TV sets. I can't recall any of them from that time being involved in any scandals unlike quite a number of celebrities today seem to have.
Yes Roy and Dale’s former home sold in 2018 for $615,000. Tours of inside are online.
Roy Rogers boyhood home: ruclips.net/video/ch4HayMHwf0/видео.html Happy Trails!
Roy was one hell of a bowler . He was on some celebrity bowling show in the early 70,s and kicked butt.
jerry richards Thank you for sharing that point about Roy. I had no idea about his bowling skills.
I remember seeing Roy bowl , he was a fantastic bowler. 👍🏻🎳🐎

I have also been to this site and it is very peaceful and quiet. It is a lovely place to just go and sit.
Sadly, the Apple Valley, Hisperia area has "gone downhill" over the years since they first moved to the area. The Museum has also sadly been torn down and no longer exists.
Richard McLeod. How sad
Newt Bass was my Mothers father. I am grandson number 1. thamks for your reply.
They are why I became so fond of cowboys and girls
Roy and Dale are two of my heroes and a man that people who knew him said was like someone Devine and that's Will Rogers.
I Cannot believe I have not Bern there. I love that place TOOO hot for me! I grew up near Big Bear vrry very beautiful there
Beautiful estate, they seemed like a lovely couple.
Like everywhere else, divided for greed.
Ride high in the sky and up to heaven rip
Love you both forever
My heros as a Kid ..... RIP 🇺🇸
Together forever.
I once attended a religious service in which Dale Evans Rogers spoke. My wife and I sat no more than ten feet away from her. I wish I had gotten her autograph.
Sad they developed all the land out. It would be awesome if they would have left it and made it all a museum.
Hope King That would be great!!! Wish it were so
I know @Hope King but the family tried hard with the museum in Victorville & it just could not generate enough interest to make ends meet. Later, the family did a museum in Branson and it could not make it there either. The family hated to but eventually did an auction where much was able to be shared with all of Roy and Dale’s fans. We miss this God-fearing marvelous couple. 💕💕💕🌷🌷
god bless the both of them
That is a big difference from the home that they had in the 60s and 70s .
TV shows in the 1950s such as Sky King and State Trooper as well as many movies were filmed in Apple Valley.
Thank you for the video. Roy Rogers was very popular in México too, I used to read his comics every week in the 50´s and of course saw his movies. One question, why are there three crosses in each tumb ?
Alfredo Isaac Thank you very much
Alfredo Isaac crosses represent, Jesus and the two criminals crucified together
Think children just got greedy, sell the Museum, sell the house, let us hope the Gravesite is in a non revocable trust forever and ever amen
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
So glad to see this! I thought it was all lost to taxes.
I live 15 minutes away from Roy Rodgers boyhood home. Still their. And in the same area branch Ricky boyhood home.
Wedgenut Tanker, that was a silly question on my part, specially being a catholic, it´s just that here in méxico we use one cross only, thank you for your answer
One of my sons born was born in Apple Valley .....
The narration near the end about the house originally sitting on 67 acres is incorrect. The "67 acres" is a reference to Roy and Dale's ranch in Oro Grande, about a half-hour's drive north from the house. A lot of people confuse the two.
Nice video it's cool you got to see there house.
Has it been empty since they died
