Another New Adventure

We can't really be called true Nomads as I don't think we move quite often enough to qualify. But, we DO like to go and try new places and things and so we are headed off to our next new adventure. Beginning around Thanksgiving, we'll be starting new jobs at the Smith Fork Ranch in Crawford, CO. Jeff has been offered the Ranch Manager/Facilities Manager/Horse Operations Manager position and so will have a lot of responsibilities. I do not yet have a formal title, but will be helping out in many areas to start with. While the job pays exceptionally well for the industry, we are most excited about the new location and new challenges. Having never lived in that part of the country, we are looking forward to exploring the red-rock country & all the surrounding countryside. The ranch we're going to is a small "boutique" guest ranch, that can accommodate up to 26 guests. They offer a lot of activities, but food and wine are their highlight. There will be two managers. One, the "General Manager" will focus on guest hospitality, including the food & wine, accommodations & sales. The other "Ranch Manager" (Jeff) will focus on the horse activities, ranch facilities and habitat. They will be equals and both will answer to the owner when necessary, but will be quite autonomous in their responsibilities & authority. I'll post our new contact info when I get it and we hope that this more central location will allow more family to visit. We will have extra rooms in our house for guests as well! And, there are both an Amtrak station as well as a reasonable airport in the area.
