Our guests sometimes have such a funny sense of humor.
Kevin decided to explain to Ben that if he ran him into another tree, like he did the last ride….there could be a price to pay.
Of course he was just joking.

Aaron from Icicle Outfitters and Dalton got this idea one day that when Aaron was close to the Dutch Oven Factory he should pick up 2 really large ovens.
Their logic was: Since they were teaching “Dutch Oven Cooking” and teaching at “Horse and Mule Packing Schools” that having a couple of large ovens would be the “cat’s meow”.
So Aaron swung buy the factory and picked up their “pre-ordered” large 22″ Dutch Ovens. The first clue should have been when they brought them to the truck on a Fork Lift!!! All 150 pounds per oven…now we all know that’s 300 pounds total weight. The first thing Aaron does is call Dalton…..”What have we done?? You are not going to believe the size of these things!. That was the first phone call of many during the week. All starting with “what have we done? You are not going to believe the size of these things.
When Aaron got home he came to the ranch with the ovens.
Now Dalton is singing the same song as Aaron…what have we done?? I can’t believe the size of these things!!!
Now…Their cowboy wisdom kicks in…Well we own them, guess we had better build a fire and season them.
When you have a team of Belgiums and a covered wagon and you want to take them for their first drive…who do you find CRAZY enough to go along?
Your Neighbors of Course!
(Just don’t tell them this is the first time you have had people in the back of the wagon.) Somethings are best left unsaid.
First we gathered up all the willing neighbors.
Then we hitched up the Team.
Notice the only neighbor in the wagon is “Tuki” the Yorkie Explorer, He is always game for any adventure.
In the end everyone had a great time and we are ready to start with Covered Wagon Rides this Spring and Summer.
For those of you that have never driven a team of horses…this is the view from the drivers seat.
