Well it's been a few wks on the job as a resident ranch manager here on the north rim of the grand cyn Arizona. I have plumbed , wired, painted, sprinkler repair ,pump rebuild, auto mechanic, air field maintenance , carpentry, cooked, housekeeper, wrangled, tour guide, campfire story teller, welcomed guests, moved and fed rattlesnakes, returned escaped cows and horses, fixed fences, and worked about 12 hr days and go to bed tired every night . Shared some of this time with Beverly all alone together on a 10,000 acre ranch 80 mi from civilization. Can't even remembering where I used to work. Love it

Had a guest show up after a freak rain/ snow storm. They had came from mesquite Nevada in Polaris RZR quad about 5 hours away on dirt roads. He was near hypothermia and had more mud inside the vehicle than outside. took me two hrs of spraying and scooping to make it recognizable. After a warm fire at the lodge and some Navaho tacos I met him again, still numbed from the drama but very thankful to have his ride cleaned up. Still living the dream here in the Arizona strip.

Every week I have new discoveries. Last week it was a snake on the ATV. Today it was a scorpion on the firewood I was gathering. One needs to keep at least one eye open all the time around this country if you want to stay healthy.

This morning I got to this little guy a few hours after he was  born. Sometimes life is just simple.

I caught it and now it is in our nature center for all to see. We used some peanutbutter and caught a big fat rat in a live trap. The rats cage is across from the snake. 👀

This little guy was outside, I thought it was a bird making this incredibly audible chirping. I think he is a relative of yoda. Not sure about the yellow in his eyes.

Thanks to Scott and Bev for sharing their "living the dream" experience with us. Amazing scenery, great food and good company. Highly recommend the ranch experience to disconnect from the rat race. I am going to have to find me another place to eat or get a bigger table. Gota love the ranch life. A collection of moments from our work week at the Bar 10 😁 Scott on cowboy duty...isn’t he good lookin’? Snow dusted the ranch and affected our drive out. Scott Hi everyone I just took this afternoon, a pic of 3 mule deer that are my company out here on the Bar 10 ranch. The ranch is barely visible in the far right. Beautiful winter weather here. 🙂                Dad has become a heavy equipment operator! After 4 min. Of instruction he is now certified to run this huge water truck during a parking lot construction project at the ranch! What a guy! Here is a pic of a triple me at the colorado river from the rim of the grand cyn. We had an absolute blast this weekend at the Bar 10 Ranch on the Arizona strip. My parents left their jobs/home/memories in Cache Valley Utah after a 31 year tenure, to accept a position as the Ranch Resident Managers here. We were able to go visit and experience the time of our lives!! So happy to see my parents so happy. ❤️❤️❤️ And.... I highly suggest the Bar 10 ranch as a way station for an amazing Grand Canyon experience. The staff were incredible and the culture of the integrity, heritage, and hospitality were perfect and appreciated! www.Bar10.com

My first two days at work since the Oregon coast was like this- While checking a windsock at the airfield my daughter and I disposed of a large snake. Then a tryanchila(?) spider is at the door to my house. While attempting to deliver some diesel fuel to a guy cleaning the silt out of pond, we get stopped by a flash flood ,then after getting through that the lug nuts get loose and a wheel flys off our side by side. Livin the dream.
