By June 7, one month from now, Volunteer Week will be wrapping up, and the staff will take a day off in preparation for our first group of guests! The horses will be ready to ride, the cabins in tip-top shape, and the larders full.

We’re looking forward to an exciting summer!

Don and Emily Saliers’ session and those of Tink Tinker and Bill Brown are at capacity. Some places remain in the other sessions. Give us a call if you have any questions about openings in a session that you would like to attend.

We have a fine staff on board for the summer:
Madison Boyd, head wrangler, returns from last summer; Madie is an ag-business student at Colorado State.
Chad Hauser, wrangler, has an Associates degree from Garden City CC in Kansas, rides bareback at rodeos.
Becky Jantz, hike leader/housekeeper, comes from Aurora, CO, has a degree in sociology, has done graduate work in divinity, and tries to climb a couple of “fourteeners” each summer.
Cameron Severson, assistant cook, also from Aurora is a software engineer by training and decided to try a new adventure by coming to the mountains for the summer.
Liz Bosteels, assistant cook/housekeeper, studies hotel management at Green Mountain College in Vermont; her sister manages Lava Mountain Resort near Dubois and is her Wyoming connection.
Doug Krigsvold, cook, has years of experience cooking for large groups; he hails from Eau Claire, WI.
Brianna Wessel-Estes will return as wrangler for the last several weeks to fill in when Madie heads back to university classes; Brianna attends Seattle University.
Joyce Heil – Co-Director, Ben Verheul – Facilities Manager, and I fill out the Ranch staff.

Peace and all good,
Carl Koch
Director
