HERE'S THE LATEST!!!!!!

Hey There!!!

Here we are again!!

It is Monday afternoon, the 11th of August. We just said goodbye to our last summer team for the year, they were a great group of young adults from Tampa Florida. They were here for eight days, working on the Ranch and in the local area. They took a number of days to see the sights and enjoy some of the local adventure as well.

Here are some of the memories!!


Putting the sealer on the new shed that was built this last year! After this the two ladies put on another coat of sealer and two coats of paint! The shed looks fantastic!!



Here is Matt closing in the top part of the new washroom walls! The team spent a couple days working on various projects here at the Ranch, and they accomplished alot!!



Sealing up the new cement on the brand new washroom facility. If you get that stuff on your teeth you won't have to brush for a week!!!




Love those boots!!!




Putting on the finishing touches!





A job well done!! The hard working team!




Nothing like a soaking in the local hot springs to help relax and take care of those aching muscles.



After everybody dried off we had a great meal together in the dining room.


Katie and Seth chill'n!!


Part of the team high in the trees at the Canopy Tour.


Let's go Ausie style!!



Blending in with the local flora.





Don't get too close to the edge!! It's a long way down!! One of the highest platforms at "The Canopy Tour"





Suspension bridge up in the Volcano, near the hot mud pits and springs.



Yep that's a Toucan!! These guys are wild, (the birds), they come in to get the goodies from the tourists and then fly away. They love bananas!!




After playing in the mud pits!!




Everybody is getting geared up and ready to ride!!



Let's make sure the cinch is tight, we wouldn't want Katie to get an upside-down-view of the Ranch!!







This is Heather on Miss Smokey.








Matt and Dutchess!
