The Bailey bunch - Over the 2021 Birthday Bash weekend for Mom's 94th, this group of awesome folks; Rod, Reese, Lisa and Riley helped us lift and place the cap and ridge cabin logs. Seeing these logs being put in place was one of Mom's last dreams - thank you from all of us in making this come true for Mom. 

​

The Westman crew - A weekend visit from this crew gave us an awesome start on the roof, specifically building the insulation blocks and installing the insulation. Without your assistance we would have not finished the roof by end of Sept. Thank you again for your timely assistance.

​

Pa Lundine - Paula's Dad, Pa, (88 years young) had been making beautifully brightly hand painted bird boxes for the Ranch. His goal was 160 of them, and he was just about 1/2 way there, when he passed. A new ATV skidding road was cleared last summer, to avoid some of the wetter areas, and have named it "Bird Box Boulevard" in honor of Pa and his contribution. All of the boxes are assembled and hand painted by Pa and now line the Blvd. Thank you. Some of the boxes are so bright we won't need headlights at night!

​

Ma Lundine - Bless your heart for the contribution to the ranch toward nessary permenant bridges, saw mill (periwinkle blue) and the equipment to further the infrastructure of the ranch and Camp Sherman. 

​

Mom Noble (Young) - Thank you for such an unexpected gift toward our Signature Adventure. Your contribution will go a long ways to further the cabin construction and any backhoe equipment requirements. Thank you for your belief in our Vision.  

​

Ma Ludine, Becky Higgins and Shane Westman - Thank you for your contribution of clearing slash, skidding and decking logs for the Pug Shack. Bless her heart, pregnant Becky was dragging and throwing slash with the best of them and Ma Lundine fell her very first tree with a chain saw!

 

David Simmons - With your awesome skill set in the shop, you made a security bar for both the tool shed and the pug shack. With these both in place, we have the confidence that the tools and equipment are safe in our absence. Thank you.
