GENERAL INFORMATION

Mail reaches the ranch six days a week, as well as Federal Express and UPS services. Phone service is not available in the cabins, but there are telephones in two booths near the office for guest use at any time. Fax facilities are located in nearby Dubois.

There is a clinic and ambulance service, and excellent hospitals in Riverton and Jackson, both about an hour and a half away. The ranch has a resident babysitter, who will also do guest laundry for a nominal fee. A ranch car goes in to Dubois each day except Sunday, to do ranch and guest errands.

TRANSPORTATION

The ranch is six miles south of the town of Dubois, and midway betweenthe airports at Riverton and Jackson Hole, which are served by airlines from Denver and Salt Lake City. Guests can be met at either airport, with a drive of about an hour and a half to the ranch. There is a charge for airport pickups, and rental cars are available at either airport.

For private planes there is a paved airstrip a mile long just three miles outside of Dubois. It is lit at night, and has a telephone but no other services.

WHAT TO BRING

Life is simple on the ranch, and it is not necessary to bring a lot of clothes, or purchase expensive equipment. You will need comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor activities. Bring jeans, slacks and shorts, long and short- sleeved shirts, bathing suit, sneakers, sweaters, a fairly warm jacket, and a light raincoat, just in case. Cowboy boots and hats are highly recommended for riding, and can be purchased locally. A flashlight and an alarm clock would also come in handy.
