For some, a love of the outdoors and a deep connection with nature becomes a lifelong tradition—one that brings friends and families together year after year. For three couples—Sue and Alan, Bob and Jennifer, and Sue and Jay—that tradition began over 30 years ago with their shared love for guest ranching.
