Norm Tjeltveit Presents Camp Sawtooth

In August of 1930, some of the senior staff from WGN radio in Chicago travelled to the Red Lodge area to visit Camp Sawtooth. The dude ranch was situated in a meadow below Sawtooth Mountain and just above Deep Lake – south of today’s Beartooth Highway in the Shoshone National Forest. We’ll share their adventures courtesy of 30 minutes of video footage taken by one of the ‘dudes’, learn a little about dude ranching in the area around Red Lodge during that era, and about F. I. (“Doc”) Johnson, Camp Sawtooth’s creator.
