Since becoming president, Bush has made 64 visits here, spending all or part of 413 days of his presidency at his ranch, according to the White House. He was enjoying a month-long stretch at his ranch in August 2005 when Hurricane Katrina struck, devastating the Gulf Coast.
An encampment is there with a cluster of double-wide mobile homes, adjacent to the president's 1,600-acre ranch,where a handful of traveling White House staffers, Secret Service agents and communications staff both work and sleep during Bush's stays here.
There are also bunkers and other facilities that were built for Bush.
Bush also regularly hosts foreign dignitaries at his ranch, which he sees as a valuable diplomatic tool and it's all tax deductible which means that we pay for it.
