Last guest week, artist week, and a wedding….

 This was suppose to be put up about a month ago, better late than never!  Written by our head cook Grace.
 
In the morning, the guests walk outside and feel the crisp cold air. Crunch, crunch is heard as their footsteps touch the thick frosty dew. The sun coming up over the mountains with it’s pinkish tint warms the soul and one cordially smiles at the beauty. With their hands wrapped around a hot 7D mug of fresh coffee, they smell wood burning from the cabins. Taking in deep breaths of fresh air with no thoughts of modern day technology, it will be a good day for riding or fishing.
Guests have asked the question, “What happens when it rains on the brunch ride?” The guests on the last brunch ride of the season know that answer. They still ride and food is still cooked. The brunch crew is ready with the piping hot beverages and a blazing fire for people to gather round. Andrea tells a great story from the Dr. Dewey book and a post script about the doc himself. Two rides are offered – one to go back to the ranch and the other one leading on the “OMG!” trail.
Being out here on this remote ranch, one cannot escape the reality of the presence of wildlife. Some of the staff heard a calf cry out and went to investigate. Chelsea spotted a good size grizzly bear that ran off when it saw vehicle lights. Unfortunately, the calf couldn’t be saved. A cage was set up, which successfully trapped the bear. A second offense record has that grizzly being transported to Jackson Hole.
Last week we welcomed a former employee and her family. Heather worked here, as one of the cabin crew, when Marshall Dominick was running the ranch. She reminisced about the great memories from over twenty years ago. In addition to last week, the staff celebrated Andrea Dominick’s youthful birthday. Also, the staff bid farewell to a couple more. Yes, the numbers keep dwindling; we appreciate all the wonderful maintenance work Luke has done and Josh‘s witty wrangling experience.
This week the ranch has a small number of artists here to capture the fall season on canvas. A lively artist group keeps the staff spirits high in time for a weekend wedding. It should be beautiful weather and a spectacular event.
