expectations. The cabin was incredibly clean,

We found
exactly what we were looking for during
our Canada trip at your ranch: welcoming
hosts, the best ever horses, splendid
horseback riding -working the Texas
Longhorns was a special experience- lots
to learn about Alberta sitting by the
campfire (thanks Hans) and last but not
least the wonderful meals (thanks
Kathy). The days went by way to fast,
but we'll return to this great place.
In den
Tagen bei euch haben wir genau das
gefunden, was wir fuer unsere Canada
Reise gewuenscht haben: Herzliche
Menschen im Einklang mit der Natur,
fantastische Pferde, tolle Ausritte -
der Viehtrieb war ein ganz besonderes
Erlebnis!- interessante Geschichten
ueber Land und Leute beim Lagerfeuer (Danke
Hans) und nicht zu vergessen das
wundervolle Essen (vielen Dank, Kathy).
Leider ist die Zeit viel zu schnell
vergangen, aber wir sind sicher, wir
werden wieder kommen. Bewahrt euch euren
Traum!

Dear Hans,Kathy,Joe and Ben,
thank you so much for turning us
into cowgirls for a few days and
sharing your peaceful and
picturesque property with us. "Bear"
and "Kiowa" were great horses to
learn about ranching. The food was
awesome. I loved listening to your
stories and helping your boys shoot
down fellow guest Heinz with wooden
guns, sticks and whatever we could
find. I would love to return some
day.

to come back one day!

Little Wolf, our 3 year old Alaskan Husky Dog.
Poem by Neil Johnson, Wales, August 2008
Little Wolf, the wonder dog,
keeps watch both night and day.
There's no coyote dares get close,
he keeps them all at bay.
