Intentions

Welcome; the intention is to tell a little about my whereabouts, travel adventures, and issues at Elk Ridge, including when I will be on the ranch, when a great time to visit (send grandchildren), etc. Hopefully there will be different divisions for Travel, Ranch Activities, etc.

From Erica....







Sent from my iPhone, please excuse errors.Cousins are having a blast!

The Natural!

Getting ready to ride the fences, a little practice on the range!
Proud to report Noelle is a natural! She's ready for the Barrel Races for sure! Hot Shot seems to listen to her just fine and they are flyin' around.

Memorial Day

Heading up to ranch a couple days ago, Droughtbuster set a new speed record! (Had to show it...)
Lynn brings up horses, Erica and Jeff and Megan and Noelle coming too! We were joined last night by Jessie, Mark's girlfriend, while Mark is in Detroit working.
Have a safe Memorial Day!
Love to all,
UR/Dad

Ranch

One more item! Yesterday at Springerville airport they had a little Sie exposition/pan cake breakfast. One of vintage planes (in action to Drought Buster) was a reconfigured C-47 aka DC-3. Lynn's father flew this plane in WW II in addition til the P-51, so of course I bought her a ride! Such smiles, going back as little while..

Ranch

Greetings from the ranch, first day of May 2016...Not sure it it shows up well but we are greeted by a blizzard!
We've had a great four days but now Lynn heads down the mountain with K Derrick to return to the real job. I'm grounded but plan to fly home Tues or so.
Have had the usual social activities with the usual good friends and it's been all good. I made a great pot roast by the way...
One of the local lakes that was blown out by the fire Five years ago is back on line and nicely stocked! Great for float tube and any new kayaks! They promise to keep it nicely stocked again. Even A D caught a couple of Rainbow there Twelve Long years ago...Ken? Not so lucky if I recall?
Another note in a minute or two.
Love. UR/Dad
