When Chuck wasn't working at acting, he was tending his 8˝ acre ranch at Bear Valley Springs, in the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, California. The Ranch was then called
"Medicine Hat Oaks"—this is a gated Community. Thanks to Evelyn Eccleston Sammis and John Sammis we got to tour this ranch. The Fisher's own it today and it is called "Glory Ranch."
The picture on the left is the front of the house and the picture on the right is the back.Did you wonder how Chuck came up with the name "Medicine Hat Oaks?" Now you can hear it from the horses mouth—OOOPS! From Chuck's mouth. I got this from a personal interview that was done at Chuck's ranch, "Medicine Hat Oaks"
"Medicine Hat Oaks"—Medicine Hat in horse parlance is a painted horse who is born. There is no connection between the marking brown or sorrel on the top down to the body. Somewhere along the line it will be totally separated, not even, which is called a necklace. They consider that part above the marking on the whole head, a hat. And the Indians were superstitious, but it was part of their religion. They would give horses to the medicine man.
