A Note From The Ranch Manager...

What was I thinking!

I left Texas to adventure out to the "Wild West", for a summer of work at the Lazy L&B. Night came quicker than I had expected and I was tired. I had traveled 1,300 + miles, alone, over a two-day period and I wanted a friendly face and a warm meal. 

Instead, I was going down a washboard road in total darkness in the middle of nowhere. 

Turning back was certainly not an option, and I wondered if I would ever find the turnoff to the ranch. Cell phone service had been lost a few miles back, so that was not an option either. At the end of my patience, there it was....that wonderfully welcome sign "Lazy L&B ". I had almost passed it up in the darkness.

I turned into the drive and just as I crossed the cattle guard, I saw the abyss....blackness. NO. A leap of faith and I continued on and made my way DOWN the switchback road to the ranch. 

I walked into the main lodge where dinner was well under way. A crackling fire was going in the fireplace; guests and staff were enjoying their meal and the company of each other. I sat down to a cup of hot coffee and thus, my love affair with this remarkable place started.

I cannot say what one thing makes this ranch so special to me. The guests that come from all over the world and leave as friends, the countryside that is ever changing, the tranquility that surrounds you when you take the time to just sit and soak it in... Or perhaps, the amazing staff that I have had the pleasure and the privilege of working with. 

We are friends, family even in a way that most couldn't understand. We come from Oregon, Louisiana, Wales, Florida, Minnesota....all over the world. We ride, hike, swim, travel, cook, eat, laugh, rodeo, square dance, get thrown in the "goose pond" on our birthdays....we love our "job", our life at the ranch, and we love to share that with others. 

I have traveled many miles since that night three years ago, and I have worked at other ranches. But, none of them are the same. Now, when I think of that "washboard road" (which we always hope is smoother) I am excited. I long for the ranch and the new adventures and friends to be made. I long for my "ranch home"...
